You will work on high impact projects and features across all reddit product surfaces as a key member of the emerging markets team. Your work will help the next 500 million Redditors find communities, belonging, and empowerment on Reddit.

How You'll Have Impact:

We are a team of builders that value impact, personal growth, openness, and kindness.

What You’ll Do:

• Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love.

• Help build and pioneer initiatives to allow the next 500 million Redditors to find communities, belonging, and empowerment on Reddit.
• Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows and recommend best practices.
• Continuously learn and improve your technical and non-technical abilities.

Requirements:

• 5-10 years of software development experience developing user-facing mobile native applications at scale, using Kotlin.
• Additional knowledge around GraphQL, REST, HTTP basics, and the ability to design maintainable APIs is a plus.
• Experience in Jetpack Compose.
• Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and keep projects on schedule.
• Entrepreneurial spirit. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
• Excellent communication skills. You collaborate effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with both technical and non-technical individuals.
• You’re autonomous and decisive, taking full ownership of and responsibility for your work.
• You have a passion for learning and continuously work to improve your skills.
