Requirements
  • Ability to thrive in ambiguous environments, excited about finding solutions to complex, adversarial problems and then executing on them.
  • Passionately about Discord and about keeping users safe from abuse at scale.
  • 5+ years of experience as a product manager building and shipping great software, including driving prioritization, trade-offs, and timelines. Some of that experience should include designing and shipping user-facing anti-abuse features.
  • Strong product sense and pride in understanding Discord and our users.
  • Strong analytical ability to quickly organize and leverage data to make informed product decisions with cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Previous work in spam, abuse, fraud, account integrity, Trust & Safety, or a strong passion to learn the space.
  • Sufficient technical domain expertise to drive alignment on technical requirements with Anti-Abuse, ML, and Security stakeholders.
Responsibilities
  • Own the product philosophy, vision, and multi-quarter roadmap for scaled abuse, spanning fake accounts, ATO, scraping, and recidivism detection — prioritizing proactive, foundational investments that compound across the platform.
  • Define, own, and socialize the north-star metrics for the space and report progress against those goals to the relevant stakeholders.
  • Translate threat research into forward-looking defensive product work, so our roadmap focus’s on the highest-leverage defensive investments rather than one-off firefights
  • Drive cross-functional execution with growth, security, anti-abuse and product teams to minimize impact of abuse on our users. This work spans machine learning solutions, heuristics, and building delightful features in-app.
  • Partner with product teams across Discord to embed abuse resistance into new surfaces before they ship.
Desired Qualifications
  • Familiarity with ML-based detection systems and adversarial attacker dynamics.
  • BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant technical experience.
  • Strong sense of delightful UI and UX design.

Discord provides a voice, video, and text chat platform that helps friends and communities connect and hang out online. It supports organizing conversations in servers, with channels for different topics, and offers features for voice and video calls, messages, and streaming. Discord works by letting users join communities (servers), participate in real-time chats, and share media and screens. It differentiates itself by not selling user data or running ads, and by offering a Nitro premium subscription that adds perks like higher quality streams and cosmetic customization. The company’s goal is to help people feel like they belong and can explore their interests through shared spaces and conversations.
