Discord H-1B Visa Sponsorship Jobs USA

INTRODUCTION

Discord has a highly engaged community of millions of daily active users who use the platform for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does: play video games. 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. 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. By meeting players where they are, developers reach far beyond their own communities, and players can now find, buy, and gift items directly from Discord, across chat, wishlists, and official game servers.

As a senior product designer on the Social Commerce team, you'll design what this experience looks and feels like across every surface of the product. Your designs will span the entire Discord product, working closely with game developers, product, and engineering to create win-win experiences for players and developers alike. If you want to build a new category of commerce at a platform used by hundreds of millions of people, this is the role.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

You will embed within a product squad and partner with engineers, product managers, researchers, and data scientists to oversee the user experience of a product from concept to launch, and then continue to improve it after release. You will create wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and help implement your designs to pixel perfection. You will also quality check all of your work as it is built, ensuring it reflects your vision.

You will own the bar for craft, execution and production quality for your immediate product team, and proactively identify opportunities to uplevel the quality of your work in production as you playtest. You will actively influence your team's roadmap with a deep understanding of the product space, acting as a thought leader with your XFN leads in defining the "how" of the product strategy. You will present your designs to the team and the greater organization to drive alignment around your work.

You will identify gaps or improvements for our design system and contribute UX and design patterns that address design debt, and are adopted across the design organization. You will be an active peer and participant in your organization's design team and culture, sharing/contributing often and proactively in critiques and in general channels to encourage a culture of open feedback and active support.
