Product Designer, Growth

About this role

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.

We're looking for a Product Designer to join Growth at Discord and help shape how people find Discord, get set up, and stay connected over time.

Growth sits at the front door of our consumer org. We're responsible for how Discord shows up in the world — how new people discover us, how they land and get started, and how existing users stay close to the conversations and communities they care about. It's a broad, fast-moving surface area, and design plays a central role in making each of those moments feel unmistakably like Discord.

This role spans the full breadth of what Growth owns:

• Notifications — helping users stay connected to what they care about, even when they're away. We're making notifications more intelligent, trusted, and effective: reaching people at the right moments, coordinating delivery thoughtfully, and giving users real control over their experience.

• Off-platform — how Discord shows up beyond the app itself, across embeds, links, invites, web pages, and text messages. These are often someone's first impression of Discord, and there's a lot of room to make them better.

• Onboarding — rethinking how new users arrive, understand what Discord is, and find their footing in those first few minutes.

• GSEO — a growing effort to build the web experiences that help new people discover Discord through search in the first place.

You won't own all of this at once, but you'll work across it — and you'll help us shape how these pieces fit together into one coherent growth experience rather than a set of disconnected products.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own end-to-end initiatives across Growth — a new notification type, an onboarding flow, an off-platform surface like invites or embeds, or a web experience built to bring new users in — designing across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)

• Design with high craft and velocity — creating production-ready specs and high-fidelity prototypes while knowing when to ship vs. polish

• Influence scope and strategy in partnership with your PM, engineering lead, and cross-functional teammates, balancing growth velocity with user value

• Use data and research to inform decisions, partnering with research and data science teams to validate designs and understand user behavior

• Think in systems — considering how discovery, onboarding, off-platform touchpoints, and re-engagement work together to create one cohesive experience

• Collaborate and communicate effectively — sharing work early and often, telling compelling stories about your design rationale, and building relationships across teams

• Drive projects autonomously — managing your own time and deliverables while knowing when to escalate blockers

What you should have

• 3+ years of product design experience designing consumer-facing digital products — though we're open to strong candidates with 2+ years who demonstrate exceptional craft and potential.

• Strong visual design foundation with demonstrated aesthetic taste. You have a high level of skill crafting beautiful interfaces and an eye for creating delight in every product experience — typography, color, hierarchy, and composition are second nature to you. You're comfortable working with design systems.

• Solid interaction design skills — you create intuitive flows, understand information architecture, and can design for complex, multi-step experiences. You're comfortable designing systems, not just screens.

• High proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools (Protopie, Framer, Principle, etc.) — you use prototypes to communicate your vision, test concepts, and build alignment with stakeholders.

• Experience shipping products collaboratively in cross-functional teams with engineering, product management, research, and data science.

• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action — you proactively drive projects and decisions forward. You help guide product vision through design explorations, documentation, and presentations.

Bonus Points:

• Personal use of Discord and passion for gaming or community platforms

• Experience designing growth, onboarding, acquisition, or lifecycle products

• Understanding of how products reach and grow users across surfaces — notifications, messaging, web, SEO, or shareable/viral loops

• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and data-driven iteration
