Job Description
• Work with the team to select, scope, and drive high-velocity experiments and features that directly impact advertiser retention and revenue (e.g., automated campaign optimization, churn prevention, serving side adjustments).
• Define the technical roadmap for "full campaign lifecycle support," designing systems that can intelligently guide advertisers through optimization, reporting, and reactivation.
• Maintain a hands-on focus, executing on strategies to create world-class experiences for SMBs. You will lead the development of complex features like one click campaign configurations and targeting and ads serving optimizations.
• Mentor, coach, and collaborate with other engineers, fostering a culture of experimentation, speed, and technical excellence.
• Partner deeply with Cross-Functional (XFN) teams—including Ads Formats, Ads Signals, and Ads Serving—to ensure our retention products leverage the full power of Reddit’s ads stack.
• Stay ahead of the curve on growth engineering best practices, driving a data-driven mindset where every technical decision is tied to business impact.
Job Requirements
- 7+ years of software engineering experience, with a track record of leading technical projects in a growth or product-focused environment.
- A "doer-focused" attitude with a strong bias for action. You are comfortable with rapid iteration, A/B testing, and making technical trade-offs to move business metrics.
- Strong experience in developing scalable backend services and/or full-stack product features. (Note: The team uses Python/Go and works with web frontends often).
- Expertise in at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Go, Python, Scala, Java, or C++) and ability to grow expertise in Reddit's stack.
- Demonstrated ability to act as a Tech Lead—aligning stakeholders, breaking down complex ambiguous problems into shippable tasks, and unblocking the team.
- Excellent communication skills employed to drive consensus and explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders (PMs, Sales, Marketing).

- 401k Match
- Family Planning Support
- Gender-Affirming Care
- Mental Health & Coaching Benefits
