Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise Platform

DiscordNorth AmericaLead6+ years experienceDevOps & Infrastructure

The role

Discord is hiring a Staff Software Engineer as the founding engineer of a new Enterprise Platform team within Enterprise Technology. The goal is to turn internal IT infrastructure, such as identity, device management and infrastructure as code, into self-service software.

What you will do

  • Manage the device fleet as code, moving configuration from consoles into versioned, API-driven systems
  • Manage identity systems and their app connections as code, including SSO and SCIM, through version control and CI/CD
  • Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns, and set CI/CD standards
  • Design and ship the APIs, CLIs and portals that make new-hire access and group membership automated and auditable
  • Define the technical direction for the discipline and write the RFCs and docs future hires build on

What they ask for

  • 6+ years building and operating production software at a technology company, owning ambiguous projects end to end
  • Strong software engineering; production code in Python, TypeScript and Rust (not a sysadmin role)
  • Deep IAM experience: SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC and RBAC
  • Fluency with Terraform and CI/CD
  • Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface
  • Track record of building self-service tooling that people adopted
  • Comfort with ambiguity and building from scratch
  • Bonus: Okta, Jamf or Intune; identity governance for AI agents

What they offer

  • Equity
