Staff Software Engineer, Enterprise Platform

About the Role

Discord's Enterprise Technology org is building a software engineering discipline from the ground up, and this is the founding engineering hire. There is no Enterprise Platform team yet. You will define the discipline, set the technical foundation, and build the platform that lets internal systems scale with the company.

The mission of this role is to turn our enterprise infrastructure into self-service software. You will replace manual consoles and tickets with a platform of reusable primitives exposed through clean APIs and self-service portals, operating with a platform-as-a-product mindset.

What You'll Do

• Manage the device fleet as code: Move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning.
• Automate the identity layer: Manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows, shipping changes through version control and CI/CD.
• Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards.
• Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths for software access and workflows.
• Set the foundation: Define the technical direction and architecture for the discipline, writing RFCs and documentation for future team members.

What You Should Have

• 6+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning ambiguous projects end to end.
• Strong software engineering fundamentals writing production code (Python, TypeScript, Rust) including designing, testing, and shipping systems.
• Deep, hands-on IAM experience (SSO, SCIM, OAuth/OIDC, RBAC) and fluency with infrastructure as code (Terraform) and CI/CD.
• Experience treating endpoint and fleet management as an API-driven engineering surface at scale.
• A platform-as-a-product mindset with experience building self-service tooling that people choose to adopt.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a founder's temperament; energized by building from scratch.

Bonus Points

• Hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune.
• Experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals.
• Background at a high-growth consumer tech company with a highly technical employee base.
