Engineering Manager Creator Revenue

Discord is looking for a highly technical, creative, hands-on, and empathetic Engineering Manager for our Creator Revenue team. We empower creators to build belonging sustainably right here on Discord. You will be responsible for the engineers building and scaling our membership products for creators. We want to see creators succeed and grow their own businesses along with their user base. We believe that creators and communities play a vital role in our overall mission of building belonging.

We're making it easy for Creators to build sustainable communities directly on Discord, and you could play an essential part in that mission. This is a new endeavor for Discord, meaning we're blazing our own trail. We expect that this work will become an important part of Discord's journey to create belonging for everyone.

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.

We're working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider, where genuine human connection is a click, text chat, or voice call away. A place where everyone can find belonging. Challenging? Heck yes. Rewarding? Double heck yes. It's a mission that gives us the chance to positively impact millions of people all over the world. So if this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!
