• Be part of the engineering Leadership team (alongside product, design, analytics, and cross-functional leaders), responsible for defining the future of how we scale as a small but mighty, distributed engineering organization
• Build and lead a team of TPM’s capable of scaling with Discord through a period of continued high growth and transformation, while forging tight partnerships with managers and engineers across the company
• Demonstrate an ability to structure an organization and optimize it for execution, including attracting top tier talent, building the team from the ground up, and filling out gaps in the existing team quickly to accommodate growth
• Build and lead an organization with user/customer focus, world-class quality, and effective communication with a focus on decisive, fast-moving solutions, quick and constructive resolutions to conflicts, and a “no barriers” mentality
• Develop and manage cross-functional programs covering a range of areas and managing multiple interdependent projects of moderate to high complexity and scope
• Measure and improve efficiency and effectiveness of processes that are working well and build the next level of improvements, set standards for deployments at scale, infrastructure reliability, security, and scalability
• Provide thought and program leadership around a variety of concerns like product quality, scaling engineering processes, driving cultural principles, etc. If it's something that's making the engineering team less efficient or less fun, it's probably something you would have an opportunity to improve :)
• Serve as an evangelist for the team and overall culture, both internally and externally
