What You’ll Do

• Cross-Functional Product Architecture: Partner closely with Product Management, Product Design, Data Science, and Client Engineers (iOS/Android/Web) to translate business and user needs into reliable, low-latency technical solutions.
• End-to-End Delivery: Own the full software lifecycle for major product initiatives from technical design docs and API contracts to development, testing, rollout, and observability.
• Metrics & Experimentation-Led Engineering: Design, build, and evaluate A/B experiments. Work with tools like BigQuery, HEX, or Firebase to analyze user behavior, conversion funnels, and retention loops to make data-backed engineering decisions.
• API & System Performance: Build and maintain scalable APIs (GraphQL, REST, gRPC) and distributed backend services optimized for client consumption and consumer UI performance.
• Technical Rigor & Modern Tooling: Establish engineering best practices, improve developer workflows, mentor teammates, and use modern, AI-integrated tools to ship high-quality products efficiently.

In your day-to-day, you will:

• Steer: Work with the team to select, scope, and drive high leverage projects that align with Reddit's goals.
• Build: Execute on a strategy and create a more performant, more scalable, higher quality architecture around authentication, authorization and identity.
• Amplify: Mentor, coach, and collaborate with other technical contributors
• Collaborate: Work together with a variety of cross functional teams across Reddit Engineering.
• Evolve: Learn and improve your own technical and non-technical abilities

Who you might be:

• Software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages; Golang, Python, C++, Java
• Experience with essential cloud infrastructure (Kubernetes, IC/CD, AWS, GCP)
• Hands-on experience implementing features, optimizations, and bug fixes to distributed messaging systems.
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate with stakeholders in engineering, data science, machine learning, and product.
• Degree in Computer Science or equivalent technical field.
