Discord is seeking a Product Designer for their Player Experiences team to help make it easier and more fun for people to hang out before, during, and after playing games.
You will focus on the player-facing side of the Developer Platform, designing experiences on Discord and in-game as a result of studio integrations across desktop and mobile surfaces.

Embed within the Player Experience squad and partner with a staff designer, engineers, product managers, and data scientists to design the player-facing side of studio integrations, from concept through launch and post-launch iteration.
Design player-facing features like friend invites, game presence, and shareable game moments, accounting for how developers configure and integrate them so the experience holds up across every game and platform.
Mix your visual, UX, and interaction design skills to solve for the constraints of both desktop and mobile surfaces, ensuring feature parity and quality.
Playtest your work regularly, iterating on feedback from players, peers, and leadership to reach a polished, production-ready experience.
Produce comprehensive design documentation and interactive prototypes, and keep them up to date as decisions evolve, so engineering and product partners can build with confidence.
Share work early and often in critiques and team reviews, and communicate the business and user-centered rationale behind design choices in forums such as design reviews, project-team meetings, and leadership discussions.

2+ years of experience designing and shipping a web/app product for a variety of devices and platforms.
Experience designing consumer-facing mobile features specifically (not just responsive web), including familiarity with mobile platform conventions and constraints (iOS/Android).
An ownership mindset with a bias toward action, helping to drive projects and decisions forward.
A high craft bar and attention to detail in user experience, visual design, interaction design, and prototyping, with proficiency in Figma and prototyping tools to demonstrate interaction, functionality, and flows.
Ability to communicate complex problems and experiences simply, and to know when a user journey, wireframe, deck, prototype, or design specification will be most effective in doing so.
Experience working within a design system, and contributing back to it.
Experience designing for mature products, both against a vision and through incremental improvements.
