Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~61% per draw at Level IV). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

Employer immigration record

Green-card filing pattern in this occupation

Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.

Green-card intent detected

Discord Inc. obtained a prevailing wage determination for Marketing Managers in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA on 2026-06-10. No matching green-card filing appears in our data yet. The determination expires in 1 day (2026-09-07), and a green-card filing must follow before then or the employer starts over.+1 more active determination on file

Files H-1B transfers

18 transfer filings in the last year, covering 18 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role

  • Our salary ranges are determined by role and level.
  • Within the range, individual pay is determined by additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
  • Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming.

Responsibilities

  • Manage the device fleet as code: Move device configuration off consoles and into versioned, API-driven infrastructure for endpoint management and hardware provisioning.
  • Automate the identity layer: Manage identity systems and their connections to downstream apps as code, from SSO and SCIM integrations to account workflows, so changes ship through version control and CI/CD instead of an admin console.
  • Own app delivery and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): Build deployment pipelines and provisioning patterns that let internal systems be built and changed safely, establishing CI/CD standards.
  • Build the self-service layer: Design and ship the APIs, CLIs, and portals that compose primitives into paved paths, like a new hire's first day, where software access and group memberships land in one automated, auditable flow.
  • Own your domain end to end: Take core components of the platform from design through production with no code boundaries, writing the RFCs and documentation for the areas you own.
  • 3+ years building and operating production software and systems at a technology company, with a track record of owning projects end to end.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals. You write production code (we lean on Go, Python, and TypeScript), and design, test, and ship it. This is not a systems admin role.
  • A platform-as-a-product mindset. You care whether people actually adopt what you build, not just whether it ships.
  • Comfort owning complex, multi-milestone projects through ambiguity, and energy for building in a greenfield environment.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with Okta, Jamf, or Intune.
  • Experience with identity and access governance for non-human, workload, or AI-agent principals.
  • We want you to feel set up for success, so if you are in need of reasonable accommodations, please let your recruiter know.

Skills

  • You will not be inheriting a mature system or a long backlog:
  • Discord's mission is to cultivate belonging, and doing that at scale requires internal systems that move as fast as the product itself.

Compensation

  • The US base salary range for this full-time position is $196,000 to $220,500 + equity + benefits.
  • Our salary ranges are determined by role and level.
  • Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include equity, or benefits.

Company info

  • We're a multiplatform, multigenerational and multiplayer platform that helps people deepen their friendships around games and shared interests, and helps developers build and grow their businesses.
  • Join us in our mission!
