AffiniPayFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates should possess 5+ years of experience designing modern consumer-focused products and have served as a design lead for multiple product teams. They must be highly proficient in using Figma and other high-fidelity prototyping tools, such as Protopie, Framer, or Origami, and demonstrate strong visual design skills with an eye for creating delightful product experiences. A portfolio showcasing work as the primary designer on both desktop and mobile projects is required. Familiarity with Discord through frequent personal use is preferred.
As a Senior Product Designer, the individual will be a design lead without a cross-functional product team, partnering with engineers, product managers, and other cross-functional peers to oversee the user experience from idea to market. They will create wire-frames, mockups, and prototypes, ensuring designs are implemented to pixel perfection and reflect their vision. This role involves managing timelines and deliverables, exercising sound judgment in prioritizing work, collaborating with designers across organizations in sprints, proactively presenting designs to leadership, and contributing to our Design System library. The role also includes testing, learning, iterating, and meaningfully using components towards the Design System, as well as routinely sharing work with design peers and executive leadership.
Voice, video, and text communication platform
Discord is a communication platform that allows users to connect through voice, video, and text. It serves as a space for friends and communities to gather and share their interests, catering to a wide range of groups such as artists, activists, study groups, and hobbyists. Users can join various communities, known as servers, which host discussions and activities related to their interests. Unlike many other platforms, Discord does not rely on advertising or selling user data; instead, it offers a premium subscription service called Nitro, which provides additional features like enhanced streaming quality and customization options. The goal of Discord is to create a welcoming environment where people can build connections and foster a sense of belonging.
