As Product Manager for Experimentation at Discord, you will drive vision and strategy for the Experimentation Platform, enhancing systems to improve experimentation confidence and fostering collaboration across teams.
The summary above was generated by AI

Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

As the Product Manager on Experimentation, you’ll drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for Discord’s Experimentation Platform. You’ll lead the effort to build systems and tools that increase experimentation confidence and velocity, empowering teams across Discord to develop and ship products more quickly and with greater confidence.

This is a horizontal role, meaning it supports many different teams, and therefore requires someone who is comfortable and fluent working with a diverse set of stakeholders with goals that are sometimes in tension.


What You'll Be Doing

  • Guide the product philosophy, vision, and roadmap for our Experimentation Platform, addressing improvements in our current system
  • Design and oversee development of systematic platform improvements that address known challenges (e.g. bias, sample ratio mismatch, etc.)
  • Partner with Data Science, Engineering, and Product teams to up-level experimentation rigor and self-service utility across functions
  • Develop educational materials and standards to improve experiment design and interpretation across the company

What you should have

  • The humility to do whatever is necessary to drive impact, to thrive in ambiguous environments, and to get excited about finding solutions to complex problems
  • 5+ years of experience building and shipping great software, including responsibilities driving prioritization, trade-offs, and timelines
  • Experience with experimentation platforms, A/B testing frameworks, or causal inference methodologies
  • Strong understanding of statistical concepts relevant to experimentation (p-values, confidence intervals, power analysis, etc.)
  • BA/BS in computer science, mathematics, physics, economics, or related field or equivalent years of experience
  • Proven ability to analyze and synthesize data, including writing SQL, Python, and/or R and using BigQuery
  • Demonstrated technical proficiency and effectiveness working closely with engineers
  • A passion for games and the gaming industry

Bonus Points

  • Experience building or improving experimentation platforms at scale
  • A degree in advanced quantitative subjects (e.g. statistics, engineering, finance, math)

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
