Staff Data Engineer, Ads

Discord is hiring a Staff Data Engineer for its advertising products, on a Data team that works closely with data science, product, sales and account management. Discord serves over 200 million monthly users, and this role drives the technical vision for ads data infrastructure while building the pipelines, datasets and analytical tooling behind it. You would own enterprise-scale ETL and data models in SQL and Python, plus the feature pipelines, label-generation workflows and training-data systems that power the ads ranking and delivery models. There is a heavy emphasis on data-quality frameworks, anomaly detection and alerting at billions-of-rows scale. The stack leans modern: BigQuery, Airflow or Dagster, dbt, with Looker or Tableau on top. What stands out is the adtech depth required: 7+ years building high-throughput pipelines for ad serving, conversion tracking and identity, the kind of consumer-scale data problem few teams operate at.
