Senior Product Designer, Social Commerce

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. Buy it on Discord. Get it in game. The Social Commerce team is building a new way for game developers to sell in-game items on the platform where players and their friends already hang out, before, during, and after play.
