About this Data Scientist - Client Platform role at Discord

Discord · Onsite · San Francisco Bay Area

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.

Discord is where millions of people hang out every day - 90% of them play games, spending over 5 billion hours across thousands of titles each month. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to join our Client Platform Data Science team, where you’ll help make sure that Discord just works.

  • Define KPIs and diagnostic metrics that improve the user experience, and build dashboards to make them timely and actionable
  • Build custom datasets to monitor novel product features and processes
  • Share insights with technical and non-technical audiences, and iterate based on feedback
  • Champion A/B testing best practices - helping teams design, analyze, and interpret experiments correctly
  • Collaborate with data and engineering teams to design scalable and future-proof instrumentation and self-serve tooling

What you should have

  • 2+ years of hands-on analytics experience turning ambiguous business problems into clear, actionable insights
  • Experience designing, analyzing, and interpreting A/B tests at scale
  • Strong SQL skills and experience building clean, performant dashboards (Tableau, Looker, or similar)
  • Clear communication skills, with the ability to make complex findings easy to understand
  • Curiosity, a collaborative attitude, and a drive to solve hard problems

Bonus Points

  • Passion for Discord or online communities
  • Experience with performance/reliability analytics for online services
  • Familiarity with social or subscription products (social graphs, LTV, funnel analysis)
  • Production ETL or BigQuery experience
  • Experience using AI in data science work

About Discord

Discord is a voice, video and text platform that helps friends come together to hang out, play games and have fun. When Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy founded Discord in 2015 they had a hunch that multiplayer gaming would be the future of entertainment and that people would need a communications platform designed for them to talk with their gaming friends. Today, gaming has become the largest form of entertainment in the world, bigger than movies and music combined. It’s the fastest-growing as well.

 

Discord makes it feel like you’re playing in the same room with friends. Discord users can communicate through 1:1 direct messages (DMs), group direct messages (GDMs) and Servers where friends can easily gather in voice, text and video chats before, during and after gaming. High quality streaming and a seamless experience across devices lets people play and interact together as if they were in person. Almost all activity on Discord happens in small, private friend spaces.

Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.
