Drive a culture of technical excellence ensuring the right bets are taken with the highest quality.
You will be a key driver in the planning, development, and implementation across Reddit’s backend service architecture and our various client platforms, including native applications (iOS and Android) and Web.
Set and enable a culture of metrics led execution, with efficient processes and strong levels of transparency.
