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 Senior Engineering Manager to join our Ads team. This org just started last year and is growing fast. You’ll be responsible for building and scaling our ads platform from its foundations, focusing on our delivery, targeting, and measurement systems.

• Work with Product, Design, Business Development and Marketing to drive your org’s vision and roadmap
• Build a team of engaged engineers by hiring, coaching, and instilling best practices
• Collaborate on designing scalable technical solutions, and help to set the technical strategy of our ads architecture
• Instill a culture that both drives both impactful results and delights the end user
• Use your technical expertise and ensure your team delivers extraordinary results at the high technical level we set
• Make sound first-principle decisions around resourcing, and making the rationale clear to partners and team members
• Partner with your senior manager on strategic planning and to improve the Engineering organization and uphold our workplace philosophy
  

What You Should Have

• You have 5+ years of experience as an Engineering Manager
• You collaborate closely with product managers, designers, data scientists, and other engineers to define great solutions to business problems
• 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
  

Bonus Points

• You understand the gaming industry
• Prior experience with ad tech (especially delivery, measurement and targeting)
• You are a Discord user, and understand the core features and flow of Discord communications
