About the company
Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users. Discord's Enterprise Technology org is building a software engineering discipline from the ground up, and this is the founding engineering hire.
Responsibilities
- Manage the device fleet as code: move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning.
- Automate the identity layer: manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows.
- Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns, establishing CI/CD standards.
- Build the self-service layer: design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths.
- Set the foundation: define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing the RFCs and documentation.
Requirements
- 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write production code (we lean on Python, TypeScript and Rust).
- Deep, hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD.
- Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface at scale.
- A platform-as-a-product mindset.
- Comfort with ambiguity and a founder's temperament.
- Bonus: hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune.
- Bonus: experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals.
Conditions
- US base salary range: $248,000 to $279,000 + equity + benefits.
- Salary ranges are determined by role and level.
