Say hello to Kodie Goodwin, a Senior Engineering Manager on our Tooling team! His team develops software used by other internal engineering teams to build, test, and manage their code so they can focus on building Discord. With 5.5 years at Discord under his belt, Kodie has enjoyed watching the team grow from the small group of 20 engineers he initially joined. In his free time, he chats with friends virtually through board game servers, or plays with them IRL at his favorite cafe. He’s especially a fan of the card game, Netrunner! When asked what makes him most proud to work at Discord, he said: “Leadership strives to foster an environment that gives every team a sense of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. The decisions that the Tooling team makes can have a huge impact on engineering overall and I’m really proud of the engineering culture that we’ve cultivated – I think it is what makes Discord special.” Are you interested in leading a team that creates software to make life easier for others?
