Résumé du poste

Reddit, Inc. is seeking a senior leader to head the Knowledge Graph Platform team, guiding engineering, data governance, and platform strategy for a scalable, AI-powered KG used across ads and consumer features.

You will shape the operating model with customers, define data contracts, and drive self-service adoption across time zones while delivering reliable, high-quality data products.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of total software engineering experience, with 2+ years directly managing, coaching, and developing engineering teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
• Experience building or operating AI/ML powered, or data-intensive platforms, with a proven track record of leading shared technical systems with multiple internal customers.
• Strong understanding of how to turn a technical system into a product-like platform: setting an operating model with customers, establishing data or service-level contracts, useful documentation, and a path to self-service adoption.
• Experience establishing data contracts around quality, lineage, or governance.

Responsabilités

• Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers building Reddit’s Knowledge Graph Platform; create a high-trust, high-performing environment with clear goals and strong technical ownership.
• Set the technical direction and roadmap for a scalable knowledge graph platform, including data and API contracts, service interfaces, reliability, observability, performance, and developer experience.
• Establish production-grade operating standards: defining SLOs, implementing quality measures of data within the knowledge graph, governance mechanisms, and safe change-management practices.
• Partner with engineering, computational linguists, and domain-expert teams to define a shared operating model for ontology, data quality, governance, and platform evolution.
• Be a steward of data in the KG - ensure the graph has the coverage and freshness needed for priority use cases. Work with our dedicated data labeler team on shared goals around data coverage and quality.
• Work closely with internal product and engineering teams to understand their needs, prioritize high-value use cases, and increase access to the platform.
• Drive the next wave of graph-powered capabilities, including opportunities in shopping, search, ads marketplace models, consumer feed models.
• Stay close to architecture and technical design, helping the team navigate complex system tradeoffs and contribute hands-on when it is the highest-leverage path.
• Communicate the team’s strategy, priorities, risks, and progress clearly across a distributed, cross-functional organization.
