Careers at Reddit

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 130 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com . The Media Experience team exists to empower users to discover, consume, and engage with the best media content on Reddit. We do that by making video consumption intuitive and engaging. Because video is a powerful medium for community connection, our goal is to ensure our video experience is best-in-class for every user. Our north star is growing video views and video users . These are users who consistently return to Reddit for the unique, authentic content that fuels our communities. Achieving this level of consistent engagement requires a product flywheel that surfaces the right video features, UI optimizations, and playback improvements at the right moment to accelerate organic engagement. We use data, Quality of Experience (QoE) signals, and rapid product experimentation to identify and resolve any friction preventing a seamless viewing experience. We move with urgency, instrument everything, and treat a missed engagement milestone as a signal to learn from, not a number to ignore. If you want to build iOS video experiences that measurably change the trajectory of tens of millions of users and improve the overall engagement of Reddit itself, this is your team. What you’ll do: 🚀 Drive the Technical Strategy for Media Engagement Lead the iOS architecture for user-facing features that boost video discovery and consumption. You’ll design and build immersive viewing surfaces and intuitive UI/UX flows that directly maximize watch time, user retention, and daily active video consumers. 🔬 Champion for User Experience With An Experiment-Driven Culture We build for learning and impact. Partner with senior management to foster an environment where rapid prototyping and A/B testing thrive. You’ll help the team navigate the balance between high execution velocity and the strict performance demands of a modern media application. You will utilize design, performance signals, and retention data to measure success. 🌉 Bridge the Gap Between Core Media and the User You will collaborate closely with client media infra, backend, Feeds, and ML ranking teams.

Who You Might Be: 5+ years of hands-on iOS experience. You have a proven track record of developing user-facing iOS mobile native applications at scale using Swift. A strategic partner, not just a technologist. You've steered cross-team projects that solved tangible business problems (like increasing watch time or DAU), rather than just hitting a 'ship' date. You see how the code, the product, and the team dynamics all influence each other. Deeply data-informed and logical. You ensure metrics are part of the design process, not just an afterthought in a dashboard. Your architectural directions are traceable back to product and business outcomes, and you’re fluent in the language of experimentation, funnels, and QoE metrics. Comfortable with growth-team ambiguity. You navigate ambiguity with confidence when the goal is clear but the path is not. You’re comfortable with growth-team speed—prototyping fast, moving on when the data doesn’t back a bet, and keeping the team focused when the plan changes. A focus on clear, transparent communication. You can effectively distill complex technical trade-offs for any audience—whether you’re collaborating on a whiteboard with peers or presenting a roadmap review to executive stakeholders. Media product expertise. You have hands-on experience optimizing video player performance or building feature-rich products on top of core media playback components (AVFoundation, VideoToolbox). Familiarity with HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and integrating with recommendation/feed systems is a massive plus.

We are looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer to help us in this mission. This is a high impact role where your unique insights into improving our operational posture as well as harmonizing feedback from customers will shape the future direction of our platform. What You’ll Do: As a Staff Engineer, you will lead the development and evolution of Reddit’s Ingestion Platform. Design, write, and deliver reliable software for distributed data movement across streaming and batch workloads, with a focus on availability, scalability, latency, correctness, and cost efficiency. Own the architecture and evolution of the platform’s control plane and data plane, including pipeline APIs, controllers, connectors, target managers, schemas, and sink integrations. Expand the platform beyond Kafka-to-BigQuery by helping deliver production-ready paths to S3/GCS and Apache Iceberg, as well as transformations, deduplication, dead-letter queues, and other reusable capabilities. Build high-quality connectors and abstractions for systems such as Kafka, BigQuery, S3, GCS, Iceberg, Flink, and other data stores, while keeping the platform modular and easy to extend. Improve the self-service experience for platform users through clear APIs, safe defaults, automated provisioning, documentation, onboarding workflows, and actionable observability and alerting. Lead migrations from bespoke and legacy ingestion systems to the Ingestion Platform, partnering with teams such as Ads Data Platform and ML Indexing to make migrations safe, incremental, and low-touch. Establish strong reliability, security, and operational practices for pipelines running across Kubernetes clusters, including schema evolution, workload identity, permissions, deployment safety, monitoring, and incident response. Identify gaps in the platform’s architecture and product experience, and lead redesigns that improve developer velocity and enable Reddit’s continued growth. Work collaboratively with engineers and stakeholders across Infrastructure, Data Platform, Product, Ads, ML, Storage, and partner teams to align roadmaps and deliver durable solutions. Mentor and guide backend and data infrastructure engineers across the company, raising the bar for technical design, operational excellence, and customer focus. Who You Might Be: 10+ years of hands-on experience building internet-scale distributed systems, data infrastructure, or platforms used by other developers. BS, MS, PhD in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. Strong software development experience in one or more general-purpose languages such as Go, Python, Java, or Scala. Deep experience designing and operating high-throughput, fault-tolerant data pipelines or platform services, including streaming and batch processing. Experience with data movement patterns and systems such as Kafka, BigQuery, S3, GCS, Apache Iceberg, Flink, or comparable technologies. Experience designing APIs and platform abstractions, including schema evolution, serialization formats such as Protocol Buffers, and service-to-service communication such as gRPC. Familiarity with Kubernetes and cloud-native platform concepts, including controllers, custom resources, workload identity, infrastructure automation, and multi-cluster deployments. A strong understanding of observability and operational excellence: metrics, logging, alerting, SLOs, incident response, data quality, and safe migration practices. A product-minded engineer who advocates for platform users and can turn ambiguous customer and partner needs into simple, reliable, and scalable solutions. Demonstrated technical leadership and a history of guiding teams through complex, cross-functional initiatives with meaningful impact. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams and stakeholders. Experience building low-code or self-service developer platforms, or curiosity to learn, is a strong plus. Pay Transparency: This job posting may span more than one career level.
