Prepare your resume, explore your fit, and draft a cover letter for this opportunity. AI Summary ## The role, at a glance. Discord is hiring a founding Staff Software Engineer to establish its Enterprise Platform engineering discipline. The role will convert manual enterprise IT processes into self-service, API-driven platforms for identity, endpoint management, and internal application delivery. The engineer will build reusable primitives, APIs, CLIs, portals, CI/CD pipelines, and Terraform-based provisioning patterns. Success requires deep hands-on software engineering, IAM, infrastructure-as-code, and endpoint-management expertise, along with the ability to set architecture and documentation standards from scratch. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a high-impact founding staff-level role with broad technical ownership across IAM, fleet management, developer platforms, and enterprise infrastructure.

I would build a tested deployment pipeline with plan/review stages, least-privilege service identities, audit logs, rollback procedures, and clear ownership boundaries. Describe how you would design a self-service platform for new-hire access provisioning. I would model onboarding as composable primitives such as identity creation, device assignment, group membership, application access, and policy enforcement. A portal or CLI would orchestrate these APIs through approved templates, while asynchronous status reporting, audit trails, and exception handling would make the experience reliable for both employees and administrators. What considerations matter when managing endpoint fleets as code? The platform should represent device configuration as version-controlled desired state, with policy validation, staged rollouts, inventory reconciliation, and safe rollback mechanisms. I would also account for security baselines, OS and application lifecycle management, hardware provisioning, device compliance signals, and integrations with identity systems. How do you make technical decisions when building a new platform function with limited existing process? I start by clarifying user problems, risk constraints, and measurable outcomes, then write an RFC that documents options, tradeoffs, and a recommended path. I deliver a small but production-ready foundation first, gather feedback from early adopters, and evolve standards while keeping interfaces stable and well documented. How would you ensure that a platform-as-a-product is adopted by internal teams? I would treat internal users as customers by interviewing them, measuring friction, and prioritizing high-frequency workflows. Adoption depends on reliable paved paths, strong documentation, sensible defaults, fast feedback loops, and APIs that reduce effort compared with manual tickets or direct console use. Opportunity details ## About this role. 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 Enterprise Technology org is building a software engineering discipline from the ground up, and this is the founding engineering hire. There is no Enterprise Platform team yet. You will not be maintaining a status quo or joining an existing backlog: you will define the discipline, set the technical foundation, and build the platform that lets the internal systems enabling Discordians scale with the company. Discord’s mission is to cultivate belonging, and doing that at scale requires internal systems that move as fast as the product itself. The mission of this role is to turn our enterprise infrastructure into self-service software. Your job is to replace manual consoles and tickets with a platform of reusable primitives, building blocks like “provision a device” or “push an IAM policy or app integration through code,” exposed through clean APIs and self-service portals. As a code-forward Staff engineer, you will design abstractions that hide the messy reality of Okta, Jamf, and Terraform (our identity, device management, and infrastructure-as-code tools) behind interfaces people actually want to use, operating with a platform-as-a-product mindset. What You’ll Do * 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. What You Should Have * 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. This is not a systems admin role. * 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. Bonus Points * 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.
