San Francisco, California, United States Discord Full time

**Gaming Infrastructure at Scale**

Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We're a platform that helps people deepen their friendships around games and shared interests. Our systems are deployed in Google Cloud, and we use a lot of open source technologies, contributing back too.

This role will involve building and operating large-scale, reliable and performant distributed systems to support Discord's real time features and services. You'll work closely with product and infrastructure teams to develop primitives that provide compounding leverage for Discord engineering by reliably storing and serving user data, while also protecting the safety of our user data.

We're looking for someone with 7+ years of experience building performant distributed systems, who's genuinely interested in solving complex technical problems, investigating regressions, and finding ways to improve our systems' performance. You should also have a strong understanding of observability and monitoring, flexibility in undefined environments, and excitement about devising solutions for complex technical challenges.

The estimated salary for this role is $230,000-$250,000 per year, based on national averages and considering the location, experience, and required skills. This includes a competitive compensation package that reflects your skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
