Senior Software Engineer, Ads Measurement & Targeting

$196k - $245k

Discord

Senior Software Engineer, Ads Measurement & Targeting

We are looking for a highly technical, creative, hands‑on, and impact‑focused Senior Software Engineer to join our growing Ads team.

Responsibilities
  • Design, build and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure from the backend to frontend. Collaborate with both engineers on and off the team – from Revenue Infrastructure and Core Tech teams to Machine Learning and Data Science teams.
  • Be a strategic partner with engineering, product, and cross‑functional leadership in designing, developing, and scaling digital advertising features that drive revenue growth and enhance user engagement.
  • Architect simple and maintainable systems to enable us to launch quickly and iterate while sustaining a high product and technical quality bar.
  • Model strong ownership by acting autonomously when possible and looping in others to build confidence on critical questions. Introduce coding and operational best practices to the team; always be learning and teaching.
  • Own projects end to end — you’ll be responsible for working with Product and other stakeholders to refine requirements, creating technical designs and specs, implementing changes, and seeing projects through to launch and maintenance.
What you should have
  • A focus on impact. You have a sharp eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great. You collaborate closely with product managers, designers, analysts, and other engineers to define great solutions to business problems.
  • A sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem completely rather than simply shipping a solution. You operate autonomously and follow through on your commitments.
  • A growth mindset. You view mistakes as learning opportunities and build upon your successes. You challenge yourself and those around you to continuously improve.
  • A love of mentorship. Helping fellow engineers, providing feedback and guidance on system architecture, API design, data modeling, and tradeoffs.
  • 4+ years of experience, with 2 years in relevant roles.
Bonus Points
  • Expertise with Python and/or Rust, TypeScript, React, React Native.
  • Familiarity with experimentation and analysis.
  • Contributions to open‑source projects.
  • Interest or passion for the Discord platform.

The US base salary range for this full‑time position is $196,000 to $245,000, plus equity and benefits.
