  • Build and grow a high-performing team, including hiring, mentoring, and creating a culture of technical excellence.
  • Establish and champion best practices for data production, consumption, and governance across the company.
  • Ensure the pipeline remains highly reliable and low latency, even at massive scale.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams across Reddit—such as Ads, ML, and Consumer—to support their data needs.
  • Extend data infrastructure capabilities across multiple data centers and cloud environments.
  • Continuously develop your own technical and leadership skills while helping others grow.

What we’re looking for:

  • 3+ years experience in people management of high performing engineering teams.
  • 7+ years experience in large scale backend distributed systems
  • Strong focus on scalability, performance, and quality. You are an undying advocate for the user, and you have a deep intuition for how critical data infra systems work at scale.
  • High empathy, excellent communication skills, and the ability to find compromise working across the entire engineering org.
  • Experience in Go, Kubernetes, Flink, Kafka, BigQuery is a huge plus.
  • BS degree in Computer Science, similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
  • 401k Match
