Job description

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 73+ million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit redditinc.com.

Join Reddit's Gold and Contributor Program team, driving an innovative initiative that allows users to convert Reddit Gold into real money through the "Contributor Program." As a key member, you'll shape the program's future, pushing product and tech boundaries. We've successfully launched the MVP and are expanding our team.

Our small, fast-paced engineering team seeks experienced engineers who understand product strategy, applying creative technical solutions. The Gold system update introduces a seamless way to purchase and award gold, with payouts based on the gold and karma earned on eligible contributions in the Contributor Program.

We are hiring a Staff Android Engineer who can lead the team to move incredibly fast while delivering a quality product. You'll work on the highest impact project in a team of brilliant engineers like yourself. In addition to building technology, you’ll contribute to the product and business strategy.

Responsibilities

On the team, you will:

• Design, build and ship Android client features for users to monetize their contributions on Reddit.
• Move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need people who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products.
• Contribute meaningfully to team strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning for the future. Don’t just come along for the ride.
• Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines. Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences.

Qualifications

• 5+ years mobile development experience with multiple parts of the Android stack. We develop with Kotlin. Experience with Jetpack Compose strongly preferred.
• Ability to design and implement complex distributed systems operating under high load.
• Experience developing customer-facing public applications is preferred.
• Entrepreneurial spirit. On our team, everyone needs to act like a startup CEO. You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
• Excellent communication skills. You must be able to collaborate effectively with teams in a fully-remote environment, and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience mentoring engineers, owning team processes, and leading cross-functional projects is preferred.

Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. We're completely remote friendly. Apply today to learn more!
