About Discord

Discord is a platform that provides real-time communication services to over 150 million monthly active users, including handling over a trillion messages.

Job Description

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Application Security team. This is hands-on product engineering: building security features that protect user accounts, strengthening authentication and session security, and improving security-critical services. You will work directly with product teams to ship user-facing account security tools and address emerging threats. Stack: Python primarily, some TypeScript/React, some Rust, occasional JavaScript. Runs on GCP. Looking for hands-on AppSec experience (not just compliance-flavored security), comfort reading and writing code across languages, experience shipping production software, and sound judgment on prioritizing real risk over checklist security. Experience with authentication, passkeys, MFA, or session management is especially relevant.
