About Us

Discord is a voice, video and text app that helps friends and communities come together to hang out and explore their interests — from artists and activists, to study groups, sneakerheads, plant parents, and more. With 150 million monthly users across 19 million active communities, called servers, Discord has grown to become one of the most popular communications services in the world. Discord was built without selling ads or user data and instead, offers a premium subscription called Nitro that gives users special perks like higher quality streams and fun customizations.

We’re working toward an inclusive world where no one feels like an outsider, where genuine human connection is a click, text chat, or voice call away. A place where everyone can find belonging. Challenging? Heck yes. Rewarding? Double heck yes. It’s a mission that gives us the chance to positively impact millions of people all over the world. So if this strikes a chord with you, come build belonging with us!

Experience Life @ Discord

Discord HQ

Our platform is our headquarters! Because we believe great work isn't tied to a physical space, most of our roles offer flexibility — whether it's from the comfort of your home (in approved locations), an inspiring office setting or a combo of both! No matter where your desk lives, we offer generous support to help you remain productive and engaged.

Grow together

Look forward to developing both professionally and personally alongside your colleagues at Discord. All of our managers go through a leadership program, and we offer diverse trainings for everyone. No matter what your interests or skills are, there's a place on our platform for you to find and build belonging.

Money matters

Discord strives to offer fair and competitive compensation packages, including equity. You'll have room to grow and be rewarded based on your contributions and impact at the company. Take advantage of our retirement offerings (including 401k matching in the U.S.) to meet your financial goals.

Health benefits

At Discord, we health-care about you! We offer flexible health plans that cover both physical and mental healthcare.

Family support

Spend some quality time with the next generation with parental leave, fertility, adoption, and surrogacy benefits.

R&R

Stay refreshed with four weeks of PTO, 14+ paid holidays and flexible sick time (which includes mental health days).

Gender-affirming care

Many medical insurance providers consider much of the treatment vital to one’s gender transition as cosmetic. We don’t. Use up to $20,000 for transition-related procedures.

Wellness on us

Take advantage of a quarterly stipend for your gym membership or other activities to keep you feeling great. Plus virtual yoga every week!

Giving back

Whatever social cause you’re passionate about, take a day (or two) off to make an impact. While you're at it, take advantage of $1,000/year in donation matching to charitable organizations!
