Why this grade This listing scored 57/100, which is a C. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Description depth 14 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 10 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Freshness 8 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Role specificity 3 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
-5 Ghost-job penalty — Deducted for signals that this posting may not be a real, currently-open role — staleness, repeated relisting, or talent-pool language.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →

$112k – $155k
That is the middle half of what comparable roles paid on this board over the last 90 days — 50 listings that did publish a figure, median $136k. It is not this employer's offer, and we have no idea what they pay. It is only what the rest of the market advertised.

Security| REMOTE (US West Coast) or San Francisco, CA | $196K-$245K base + equity
Discord is where communities and friend groups spend time together, on desktop, mobile, and now more and more inside games and third-party apps built on our platform. That surface area, plus a huge, engaged, occasionally adversarial user base, makes application security a genuinely hard and interesting problem here.
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Application Security team. This is hands-on product engineering: building security features that protect user accounts, strengthening authentication and session security, and improving security-critical services. You will work directly with product teams to ship user-facing account security tools and address emerging threats.
Stack: Python primarily, some TypeScript/React, some Rust, occasional JavaScript. Runs on GCP.
Looking for: hands-on AppSec experience (not just compliance-flavored security), comfort reading and writing code across languages, experience shipping production software, and sound judgment on prioritizing real risk over checklist security. Experience with authentication, passkeys, MFA, or session management is especially relevant.
Location: Remote from the US West Coast. If you are in the Bay Area, our SF office is an option. Relocation to the Bay Area is not required.
Interview process: recruiter call, coding round, HM interview, virtual onsite, decision.
