About the Role

Discord is looking for a Data Scientist to join the Client Platform Data Science team. You will partner with teams that design, build, and support Discord to improve app performance, enhance user experience, and drive growth. Your work will span strategic analyses, experimentation, and dashboarding, with a focus on taking Discord's mobile and desktop reliability to the next level through better metrics, monitoring, and automation.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Partner with teams throughout Discord through the full analytics lifecycle - from exploratory analyses to dashboards, reports, and A/B testing.
  • 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.
