Software Engineer - Developer Platform

what is?

we are looking for an experienced software engineer with discord api experience to join the team to help us build the future of social connection within communities online. this is an opportunity to join a fast-moving & talented team at an early stage and have outsized impact on product & culture from day 0. you'll be working directly with all parts of the business to execute on our vision, from founder to art team.

our stack is mostly typescript and we're looking for somebody very comfortable with the language and runtime, react (& its ecosystem), serverless (esp. workers and other cloudflare products) & postgres.

crucially, we're looking for somebody with deep experience building on top of the discord developer platform—someone who knows the discord api inside and out, understands how discord’s application model and developer ecosystem works, and can channel that understanding into shaping a developer platform that other engineers will love. you’ve published bots or integrated deeply with discord’s tooling before, and you can translate that experience into building something similarly delightful here.

what do?

• collaborate with founder, engineers and other disciplines within the company to gather requirements & solve problems through detailed technical discussions and brainstorming
• build prototypes all the way to final products, solving complex issues that benefit our users
• design and develop a developer platform with a first-class developer experience inspired by best-in-class ecosystems like discord’s
• create and maintain foundational apis, client sdks, docs and other tools that external developers will rely on to build on our platform
• write well-tested and high quality code within a large, multi-developer codebase
• write and maintain solid internal technical documentation
• explore new product development areas driven by strategic understanding of our userbase and vision
  
  

who you?

• 2 or more years of professional experience in full-stack software engineering for web
• 1 or more years of experience building discord bots and/or applications
• experience building products on top of a serverless architecture (bonus points for knowledge of cloudflare's product offering)
• shipped full-stack products before - whether it was in your day job or projects outside of work
• direct experience working with or building on the discord developer platform, with a deep understanding of how their apis and developer model work
• experience working in a low-structure environment, comfortable working with unknowns and imperfect information
• great product sense - thinking about solutions with a product mindset, always asking why and putting the user's needs first
• strong communication skills & a motivation to share knowledge amongst peers by writing and maintaining solid documentation
