• Strong systems thinking and hands‑on problem solving, with evidence of measurable improvements to app reliability, performance, or developer productivity.
• Ability to influence without formal authority, build consensus across engineering, product, design, and data partners, and communicate technical strategy and tradeoffs clearly.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical decisions that will scale Reddit’s Android Platform to the next 100M+ DAUs, balancing long‑term platform health with product delivery.
• Drive Developer Experience strategy to accelerate build and test cycles and improve release safety across teams.
