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. Discord is where the world's gamers hang out, and increasingly, it's the platform game developers build on. We're seeking a Senior Data Science Manager to lead Data Science for our Developer Platform: the SDKs, identity systems, and developer tools that connect games and their players to Discord. What makes this role distinctive is the two-sided value equation at the heart of the platform. For game developers, we build tools that help studios grow player engagement and revenue, including data products that give them deeper insight into their players and communities. For players, we use signals from those same tools to make it easier to play and hang out with friends, deepen engagement across Discord, and deliver more relevant ads. Your team's job is to make both sides of that exchange demonstrably valuable. That means proving the platform's worth to developers with rigorous evidence, and ensuring the signals it generates create outsized, responsible value for Discord users. If helping make Discord an even better place to hang out with your friends and communities sounds like an exciting challenge - we'd love to chat with you! What you'll be doing • Manage, mentor, and develop a mission-driven team of Data Scientists embedded across the Developer Platform's core areas: identity, signals, and developer tools. • Own the vision and roadmap for data-driven decision-making across the Developer Platform org, and shape company strategy on how the platform creates value for both developers and Discord. • Strengthen the developer side of the value equation by shaping developer-facing data products, including metric definitions, benchmarking methodologies, and insight quality. • Strengthen the Discord side of the value equation by partnering with Ads, Engagement, and Growth to identify, validate, and productize platform-derived signals, and by measuring their incremental value through experimentation. • Drive platform adoption by partnering with Product, Engineering, and Business Development to measure integration health, forecast growth, and surface insights that help the org land and deepen integrations with the world's largest game developers. • Serve as a trusted analytical partner to top game developers, designing joint studies with partner data science teams to uncover business value from the developer tech stack. • Partner with Data Engineering, Product, and Legal on data governance: ensure platform signals are documented, discoverable, and governed well across Discord. • Set clear priorities and nimble operating models, and build a team known for rigorous methods and decision-ready work. Partner with other Data leaders to shape the direction and culture of Discord's Data organization.. What you should have • 8+ years of experience in applied data science and advanced analytics, ideally including both consumer product and B2B or platform contexts. • 3+ years managing and developing teams of Data Scientists, with a track record of growing ICs and raising the team's technical bar. • Strong expertise in experimentation and causal inference, including quasi-experimental methods (propensity matching, synthetic controls, diff-in-diff) for settings where randomized experiments aren't feasible. • Experience designing novel, interpretable metrics for a new or fast-evolving product area, and building the measurement systems around them. • Pro
