What You'll Be Doing

  • Partner with Product, Engineering, Legal, Design, Developer Compliance, Developer Relations, and other cross-functional roles to identify safety risks and opportunities in new visible and invisible product changes; work with those teams to build mitigations into the product design and contribute to product strategy.
  • Own the Discord Developer Policies, governing the acceptable uses of our public API and SDKs by third-party developers, in close collaboration with the Developer Compliance and Legal teams.
  • Build and maintain knowledge about Discord’s public API, SDKs, products, internal tools, infrastructure, and developer ecosystem of third-party applications.
  • Work closely with the Safety cross-functional group (Safety XFN) to evaluate the policy and enforcement impacts on new product changes, and scope the necessary requirements to support those teams. 
  • Support the development of responsible product development content, such as training, guides, talking points, strategies, and presentations, for engagement with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Write user-facing communications to explain our products and safety features through blog posts, Help Center Articles, and other resources.

Please note: Potential exposure to sensitive or graphic content, including but not limited to vulgar language, violent threats, pornography and other graphic images.

What you should have

  • At least 3 years’ experience working on APIs, SDKs, app stores, middleware, open source, or other third-party integrations.
  • Experience working on relevant issues, preferably responsible product development, trust & safety product, advocacy for marginalized communities; or similar functions in non-profit, community organizations, or tech. 
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent education / experience
  • Passion for understanding and mitigating the unintended impact of the online communication services on users and society.
  • Experience working directly with product, engineering, design, research partners, or multiple stakeholders at the same time.
  • Attitude of collaboration, flexibility, and always questioning your assumptions.
