Discord | Software Engineer - Unannounced Project | San Francisco | Onsite | Fulltime

Hey HN! We're hiring engineers for a low-level systems programming/reverse engineering role. More deets here: https://discordapp.com/jobs/4200751002

Notably absent from the list of requirements is professional work experience or a college degree. If you're a self-taught programmer passionate about this kind of work, please apply! (Of course, that doesn't mean we're not looking for more senior people as well.) As someone who got their first "real" job from a Who's Hiring thread (this one, actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1958374) I'm super excited to be able to offer the same kind of opportunity to people who might be having a hard time getting through resume filters due to their unusual background.

Feel free to apply through the website (I personally look at every submission), but if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me at cmFtc2V5QGRpc2NvcmRhcHAuY29t or on Discord at cmFtc2V5IzAwMDE=. Happy to give career advice or answer any questions you might have, even if you don't think you're a good fit for the role.

We're also hiring for a bunch of other stuff, but I'm not the hiring manager for those teams. If low-level/systems programming isn't your cup of tea, check out the rest of our openings here: https://discordapp.com/jobs



Are you willing to hire non-US citizens? Reverse engineering is fun and I might be a fit (e.g. having played around with IDA Pro to reverse binaries and Spectre and Meltdown, among other things).


We are! Definitely apply if you're interested.

It seems I can't add you to talk to D: I don't have any mutual servers with you, and sending you a friend request doesn't work


Whoops! Should be fixed now. :) Please give it another shot!


Hello, I also tried adding you but did not work. Do you have the 4 digit tag associated with? Thanks!


The tag is #0001 -- notamy was able to add me, so it should work now. :)


hmm..tried cmFtc2V5IzAwMDE=#0001..says user not found =(


Oops! The username is obfuscated to weed out spam -- maybe check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding for some ideas.


good on you for giving the helping hint. the interview process needs more white knights like yourself.


Do you have any openings for Software Engineering Intern this Summer ?
