Product Designer, Notifications

Discord is a platform used by over 200 million people for gaming and social interaction. They are seeking a Product Designer to join their Notifications squad, focusing on enhancing the notification experience for users to stay connected to their communities.

Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end initiatives across the full notification experience — from new notification types to settings redesigns to delivery optimizations across all platforms (iOS, Android, Desktop, Web)
• Design with high craft and velocity — creating production-ready specs and high-fidelity prototypes while knowing when to ship vs. polish
• Influence scope and strategy in partnership with your PM, engineering lead, and cross-functional teammates, balancing growth velocity with user value
• Use data and research to inform decisions, partnering with research and data science teams to validate designs and understand user behavior
• Think in systems — considering how notification types, orchestration, and settings work together to create a cohesive experience
• Collaborate and communicate effectively — sharing work early and often, telling compelling stories about your design rationale, and building relationships across teams
• Drive projects autonomously — managing your own time and deliverables while knowing when to escalate blockers

Requirements:

• 3+ years of product design experience designing consumer-facing digital products — though we're open to strong candidates with 2+ years who demonstrate exceptional craft and potential
• Strong visual design foundation with demonstrated aesthetic taste. You have a high level of skill crafting beautiful interfaces and an eye for creating delight in every product experience — typography, color, hierarchy, and composition are second nature to you. You're comfortable working with design systems
• Solid interaction design skills — you create intuitive flows, understand information architecture, and can design for complex, multi-step experiences. You're comfortable designing systems, not just screens
• High proficiency with Figma and prototyping tools (Protopie, Framer, Principle, etc.) — you use prototypes to communicate your vision, test concepts, and build alignment with stakeholders
• Experience shipping products collaboratively in cross-functional teams with engineering, product management, research, and data science
• Ownership mindset with a bias toward action — you proactively drive projects and decisions forward. You help guide product vision through design explorations, documentation, and presentations
• Personal use of Discord and passion for gaming or community platforms
• Experience designing growth, engagement, or lifecycle marketing products
• Understanding of notification systems, push delivery, or messaging platforms
• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks and data-driven iteration
