Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.
We're looking for a technical, hands-on, and mission-focused Engineering Manager to join our Ads team. This org just started last year and is growing fast.

You’ll partner closely with Product to define and execute on long-term strategy, leading a full-stack team of engineers working across platforms. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to prioritize the most impactful work, guide the technical direction of the team, and jump into the code when needed. Whether you bring a strong background in ads or are an exceptional engineering leader excited about solving high-leverage problems, this is a unique opportunity to shape Discord’s future.
What You'll Be Doing

• Work with Product, Design, Business Development and Marketing to drive your team’s vision and roadmap.
• Lead a team of engaged full stack engineers by hiring, coaching, and instilling best practices.
• Instill a culture that both drives both impactful results and delights the end user

• You take pride in delivering a delightful experience for end users, stakeholders and anyone you work with.
• You are motivated to help your team members succeed and have experience growing engineers.
• Code doesn't scare you - you are still an engineer even if you don't do it all the time.
