Who you are
- 5+ years software engineering experience, with experience in working cross-functionally to lead projects from start to finish with end user impact
- We are looking for individuals with expertise in native mobile development on Android and also some experience in backend development (language agnostic for backend)
- This is a perfect opportunity for a mobile engineer who wants to expand their skill-set towards backend systems. Our near term roadmap is more heavily backend, but we have a strong need for ownership of our client side stack

- You may demonstrate skills in one or more of the following: written/verbal communication, project leadership, mentorship, negotiating conflict, or engineering culture improvements
- Enabling a testing culture, such as unit testing, local testing or other automated testing
- Structurally improving the resiliency and fault tolerance of systems or code
- You’ve led projects working with product on experimentation and iteration to improve user experience
- You embody our company value of Evolve: you view challenges as learning opportunities and continuously seek to improve
What the job involves
- As a Senior Android fullstack engineer, you’ll design, build and scale products within notifications and emails, increasing the reach of notifications and improving the end user experience
- You’ll get ownership over our client experiences while developing expertise in our backend systems
- You’ll have an opportunity to work on impactful product iterations and with cross-functional teams such as product, Machine Learning and Data Science
- With our small focused team, your work will directly impact hundreds of millions of users around the world
Our take
Reddit is a website that facilitates thousands of message board communities, known as subreddits, with an aim to promote authentic human connection. There are more than 100,000 communities on Reddit, covering everything, from food, entertainment, sports, and books, to more niche topics that cater for very specific audiences.
The simple platform is used by more than 52 million people a day and attracts over 50 billion monthly views. While these are impressive numbers, they do pale in comparison with social media giants Facebook and Twitter, however, Reddit distinguishes itself by providing easy-to-find communities for a truly endless range of topics.
Reddit makes money through advertising as well as offering a premium ad-free membership plan. The company has enjoyed continuous user & revenue growth, acquisitions by Conde Nast in 2006 and Advance in 2011, and plans to launch an IPO bid in 2024.
