Product Designer

Who you are

• 3+ years of product design experience designing consumer-facing digital products — though we're open to strong candidates with 2+ years who demonstrate exceptional craft and potential
• Strong visual design foundation with demonstrated aesthetic taste. You have a high level of skill crafting beautiful interfaces and an eye for creating delight in every product experience — typography, color, hierarchy, and composition are second nature to you. You're comfortable working with design systems
• Solid interaction design skills — you create intuitive flows, understand information architecture, and can design for complex, multi-step experiences. You're comfortable designing systems, not just screens
• High proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools (Protopie, Framer, Principle, etc.) — you use prototypes to communicate your vision, test concepts, and build alignment with stakeholders
• Experience shipping products collaboratively in cross-functional teams with engineering, product management, research, and data science
• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action — you proactively drive projects and decisions forward. You help guide product vision through design explorations, documentation, and presentations
• Personal use of Discord and passion for gaming or community platforms
• Experience designing growth, onboarding, acquisition, or lifecycle products
• Understanding of how products reach and grow users across surfaces — notifications, messaging, web, SEO, or shareable/viral loops
• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and data-driven iteration

What the job involves

• We're looking for a Product Designer to join Growth at Discord and help shape how people find Discord, get set up, and stay connected over time
• Growth sits at the front door of our consumer org. We're responsible for how Discord shows up in the world — how new people discover us, how they land and get started, and how existing users stay close to the conversations and communities they care about
• It's a broad, fast-moving surface area, and design plays a central role in making each of those moments feel unmistakably like Discord
• This role spans the full breadth of what Growth owns:
• Notifications — helping users stay connected to what they care about, even when they're away. We're making notifications more intelligent, trusted, and effective: reaching people at the right moments, coordinating delivery thoughtfully, and giving users real control over their experience
• Off-platform — how Discord shows up beyond the app itself, across embeds, links, invites, web pages, and text messages. These are often someone's first impression of Discord, and there's a lot of room to make them better
• Onboarding — rethinking how new users arrive, understand what Discord is, and find their footing in those first few minutes
• GSEO — a growing effort to build the web experiences that help new people discover Discord through search in the first place
• You won't own all of this at once, but you'll work across it — and you'll help us shape how these pieces fit together into one coherent growth experience rather than a set of disconnected products
• Own end-to-end initiatives across Growth — a new notification type, an onboarding flow, an off-platform surface like invites or embeds, or a web experience built to bring new users in — designing across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)
• Design with high craft and velocity — creating production-ready specs and high-fidelity prototypes while knowing when to ship vs. polish
• Influence scope and strategy in partnership with your PM, engineering lead, and cross-functional teammates, balancing growth velocity with user value
• Use data and research to inform decisions, partnering with research and data science teams to validate designs and understand user behavior
• Think in systems — considering how discovery, onboarding, off-platform touchpoints, and re-engagement work together to create one cohesive experience
• Collaborate and communicate effectively — sharing work early and often, telling compelling stories about your design rationale, and building relationships across teams
• Drive projects autonomously — managing your own time and deliverables while knowing when to escalate blockers
