Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Discord is hiring a founding Staff Software Engineer to establish its Enterprise Platform discipline and turn internal enterprise infrastructure into self-service software. The role will define the technical foundation and build APIs, tools, and automated workflows for device management, identity, and internal app delivery.
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, so changes ship through version control and CI/CD instead of an admin console
- Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards
- Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths, like a new hire's first day, where software access and group memberships land in one automated, auditable flow
- Set the foundation: Define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing the RFCs and documentation that future hires will build on
Skills
- 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning ambiguous projects end to end
- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- You write production code (we lean on Python, TypeScript and Rust), and design, test, and ship it
- 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
- You have built self-service tooling that people chose to adopt
- Comfort with ambiguity and a founder's temperament; energized by building from scratch
- Hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune
- Experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals
- Background at a high-growth consumer tech company with a highly technical employee base
