Why Here?

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’s Experimentation Platform puts data at the heart of the company’s decision-making and growth – we run hundreds of experiments at any given time, and those results turn directly into business decisions across Discord. The team directly impacts the strategy and roadmaps that improve Discord for its more than 90M daily active users!

You will provide statistical expertise to ensure that experimentation methodologies and frameworks align with best practices in causal inference and experimental design. Additionally, you will partner closely with engineering and product to improve the reliability, scalability, and adoption of experimentation across Discord while leading initiatives to educate and train cross-functional teams on experimentation design, statistical methodology, and causal inference.
