Internal Communications Specialist

Discord is on a mission to help everyone find belonging by creating a new kind of communications service that puts users first, is built with integrity, and improves the lives of the people and communities it serves.

What started as a place for people to hang out while playing games together online has become so much more. From artists connecting with fans to students collaborating in real-time and young entrepreneurs inventing the future - there has never been a more exciting time to join.

About Us

Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests - from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 150 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations.

In a world of polarization, social curation, and loneliness, Discord is working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider. We believe in the value of genuine human connection, which can so easily be lost online. So we're building a space where everyone can find belonging from the inside out. If this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
