Job Description
Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming, and we are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games. Discord launched its Social Commerce team in August 2025 and by the end of the year, we shipped an MVP which was extremely successful. In 2026 we’ve been scaling to more games, adding more features, and extending capabilities. Discord Social Commerce lets players find, buy, and gift in-game digital goods from chat, friends' Wishlists, within official game communities on Discord. The idea is to bring commerce natively into the social spaces where players already hang out, rather than routing them to external storefronts. How its done? Developers integrate through the Discord Social SDK, which includes social layer integration and account linking capabilities. Once connected, players can browse and buy brand-specific gaming skins, costumes, emotes, emojis and more, with the option to gift each other items via Discord DMs, or purchase items in-game through Discord's account-linking system. What You’ll Be Doing Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile. Collaborating with the other engineers on your team to write, review, and ship elegant and scalable code. You take pride in the fact that your code will be used by millions and millions of people! Leading projects through the whole life cycle: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results. Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer tech
