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. Our team is revolutionizing the way users interact with our platform through innovative ad formats (including Quests).

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

• Design, build and maintain new Ads products and infrastructure from the backend to frontend.
• Collaborate with both engineers on and off the team - from our Revenue Infrastructure and Core Tech teams to our 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.

To succeed in this role, you will have:

• A focus on impact. You have a sharp eye for what changes can bring a product from good to great.
• A sense of ownership. You believe in solving a problem completely rather than simply shipping a solution.
• A growth mindset. You view mistakes as learning opportunities and build upon your successes.
• 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 if you have expertise with Python and/or Rust, Typescript, React, React Native, familiarity with experimentation and analysis, contributions to open-source projects, or an interest or passion for the Discord platform.
