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

  • Discord seeks a seasoned Data Engineer, focusing on our advertising product data.
  • This role works heavily with Data Science, Machine Learning, and product.
  • If leading technical innovation, architecting scalable solutions, and empowering teams through data excites you, we encourage you to make a move!

Responsibilities

  • Design and own core ads data models: fact/dim tables, canonical datasets, and aggregation layers that power delivery, measurement, targeting, attribution, and ML use cases.
  • Build and maintain the ML data that enables ads ranking, delivery, and targeting - including feature development, label generation workflows, intra-day training, and ML input observability to catch data quality issues before they degrade model performance.
  • Build conversion measurement pipelines and integrate third-party attribution data - including Conversion Attribution and Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP) integrations (Adjust, AppsFlyer, Singular) - ensuring attribution accuracy and data parity across measurement surfaces.
  • Build batch and near real-time pipeline infrastructure across the ads ecosystem - pushing toward lower-latency data for ML and reporting use cases on our BigQuery + dbt + Dagster stack.
  • Partnering with Data Platform on launch and success of new data processing engines to support low latency requirements..
  • Develop data quality frameworks, monitoring systems, automated anomaly detection, and SLA infrastructure for critical ads pipelines at massive scale.
  • Proactively identify foundational data infrastructure gaps - including those with broad implications across ML, measurement, and reporting - and design scalable, canonical solutions that multiple teams can depend on.
  • Build systems from scratch in a rapidly evolving, greenfield advertising data environment - making sound architectural decisions with incomplete information and balancing short-term delivery with long-term infrastructure investment.
  • Drive alignment across Data Science, ML Engineering, Ads Product, and GTM teams through clear narratives that connect data infrastructure decisions to business outcomes and revenue impact.
  • Mentor engineers through technical challenges, code and design reviews, and ownership of complex projects - contributing to the culture and engineering standards of the Data Engineering team team.

Requirements

  • Proven hands-on experience with data quality audits, monitoring systems, and automated anomaly detection for massive-scale datasets (billions+ rows) - including quality frameworks designed for ML inputs.
  • Experience with data visualization and dashboarding technologies (Looker, Tableau, or similar)
  • Experience with designing data architecture to power a variety of use cases, including reporting (internal and external), adhoc analysis, experimentation.
  • Deep expertise in digital advertising data engineering - specifically in ads delivery, conversion measurement, attribution pipelines, or ML feature data infrastructure.
  • Experience with Conversion Data and APIs, MMP integrations, or identity graph infrastructure is strongly valued.

Compensation

  • The US base salary range for this full-time position is $220,500 to $245,000 + 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.
