A successful candidate will work as part of a team to:

  • Design, develop, scale, and support Reddit’s experimentation platform data pipelines.

  • Develop and operate high scale data products with a focus on live site reliability, trustworthiness of analyzed data, and debuggability/actionability for feature teams.

  • Monitor, improve, and guarantee the quality and trustworthiness of data being used to make decisions across Reddit.

  • Define and manage SLAs for datasets that support production experimentation.

  • Increase developer efficiency through automation, improved signals, workflow streamlining and system optimization.

  • Collaborate cross functionally within the Experimentation Platform Team and across the whole company to find technical solutions to complex design challenges.

Qualifications:

  • 4+ years experience working with large scale ETL systems (implementation, strategy, and maintenance).

  • 4+ years of post-grad, non-internship, professional experience building clean, maintainable, object-oriented code in a production environment.

  • Strong SQL language proficiency.

  • Proficiency working with an object-oriented programming language (Python preferred) in a production environment.
