Think about it: we're a consumer product with a mission to cultivate belonging in the world. Tell us why what you've done in your career that makes you a fit for the position. You should highlight if you've used our product (or maybe you haven't, that's totally fine too! But do some research and let us know why you think we're swanky). In your cover letter, you should articulate why you're excited about Discord. So skipping a mandatory thing is not the best first impression to us. If it says it's mandatory, do not skip that step! Especially for more junior roles, we have thousands upon thousands of applications. You're probably thinking, no one reads these anyway, so I'll just skip that. Some of our positions do require cover letters, others do not. Don't let imposter syndrome get the better of you! If you do have some skill gaps, address them in your cover letter.

Internally, we discuss the 'must-have' qualifications versus the 'nice-to-have' ones. Not sure if you're exactly qualified for the role? If you have even half of the qualifications on a listing, it's worth a shot.

Make your overall application standout: tailor your resume to the job listing requirements, have a friend double-check it for any spelling or grammar errors, and get your application in as soon as possible. I'd encourage you to find a role or a team that really speaks to you, and focus on that. First and foremost, find a role on our careers page.
