Senior Product Designer, Ads

Our mission on Revenue Design is to make Discord the best place to hang out online with friends. Specifically, our Ads teams focus on helping customers and business partners extend their experience to get the most out of Discord through use of Discord Quests, our first ads product at Discord. Whether you're part of a gaming community, school club, worldwide art group, or just a handful of friends that want to spend time together, millions of people use Discord every day to find belonging, create connections, and talk. Quests help enhance those activities by giving friends something fun to accomplish, and get rewarded for it!

You'll be involved with the full end-to-end product development process, from brainstorming to launch of both improvements to, or new innovations of, our ads products.

If you're interested in joining a passionate team of designers that are designing features that will be used by millions of people across the world, come join us.
