Discord's Privacy team handles the user-facing side of privacy at scale — processing complaints, supporting investigations, and preparing materials that feed into regulatory engagements. In this role, you'll work from established playbooks to manage a steady volume of incoming privacy requests, support the team's investigation workflows, and serve as an escalation point for the BPO contractors who handle initial queue triage. You'll report to our Senior Manager, Privacy and work closely with a privacy contractor and the DPO on the team's day-to-day operations.

This is a high-execution role. You don't need to be a privacy expert, but you do need to be organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing a consistent volume of case work — including some that supports engagements with regulators.

This is a 5-month temporary position.

What You'll Be Doing

• Handle privacy complaints submitted by users, working from established intake and response workflows.
• Support investigations into user claims by gathering relevant account information, summarizing findings, and preparing documentation for escalation to senior team members or outside counsel.
• Serve as the escalation point for BPO contractors handling initial queue triage, reviewing flagged items and determining next steps.
• Assist in preparing supporting materials for regulatory inquiries and responses to data protection authorities.
• Maintain queue tracking and case documentation so the broader team has clear visibility into status and volume.
• Flag patterns or emerging issues to the Senior Privacy Analyst for review.

What You Should Have

• 1.5+ years of experience in trust and safety, legal response, privacy operations, or a similar high-volume case-handling role.
• Strong ability to follow established playbooks and apply consistent judgment across a high volume of similar requests.
• Clear, concise written communication — your escalations should give the person receiving them exactly what they need, no more.
• Comfort working independently on well-defined workflows while knowing when to flag something that needs a second set of eyes.
• Strong attention to detail and written communication skills.
• Strong ability to handle sensitive user data and complaints in a professional and discreet manner.

Bonus Points

• Familiarity with GDPR, CCPA, or other data protection frameworks at a conceptual level.
• Prior experience supporting regulatory response workstreams or working alongside legal or compliance teams.
• Experience working with or overseeing BPO/contractor teams in a queue management context.

The Social Commerce team is building a storefront for game developers to sell directly to their players in Discord. This is a new initiative that has seen a lot of early success, and we're expanding it to support more games and platforms. But we're not just building a shop — Discord is where friends already hang out, play together, and share the things they love. We are building commerce experiences that no other platform can: purchasing that's social, contextual, and embedded in the games people already play and places they already spend time. If you are excited to get in on the ground floor of this new product, then this role is for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building cross-platform purchase flows, social gifting experiences, and commerce surfaces that meet users where they already are — in voice, in chat, on mobile.
• Owning projects end-to-end: scoping, designing, building, shipping, and iterating based on experiment results. You'll run A/B tests, read the data, and make the call on what to do next.
• Working directly with game studio partners to understand their needs, answer technical questions, and improve the tools we build for them.
• Collaborating closely with product, design, and game developers to cut through ambiguity on a product where the playbook is still being written.
• Partnering with other product teams to design shared commerce primitives that work across Discord.
• Raising the bar for the engineers around you through code review, technical design input, and leading by example on quality and ownership.

What you should have

• 8+ years of experience as a software engineer, including experience leading cross-functional projects as an individual contributor.
• Strong expertise in at least a couple of the major parts of our stack: Python and TypeScript/React. You're comfortable switching between stacks and have a track record of picking up new ones quickly.
• A product sense that goes beyond implementation. You'll be collaborating with PMs and designers daily, and we need someone who can push back, suggest alternatives, and help shape what we build.
• Comfort with ambiguity and experimentation. This team ships A/B tests, reads results, and changes direction. You should be someone who thrives in that environment rather than waiting for a fully-baked spec.
• A bias toward solving problems from first principles. You learn from what didn't work and help the team do the same.

Bonus Points

• Experience with React Native for mobile development.
• Experience with game development or game platform ecosystems.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure) for production backend systems.
