Desirable

• At Reddit, a Business Engineer plays a critical role in driving the success of our advertising API products and platform integrations
• This Staff-level role combines deep technical consulting with hands-on engineering, where you'll guide strategic integrations, often contributing directly to implementation across Reddit’s stack or in the codebases of partners (or direct advertisers)

• You’ll work across engineering, product, sales, and business development teams to connect Reddit’s capabilities to the evolving needs of the market
• You won’t just build solutions—you’ll architect them across systems, anticipate upcoming platform changes, and help define frameworks for scaling and repeatability
• Act as a trusted technical advisor and solutions architect for strategic partners (or direct advertisers), guiding them through the integration and adoption of Reddit’s advertising APIs and tools
• Design and prototype proof-of-concept solutions that accelerate technical enablement and create tangible value for partners (or direct advertisers). These builds may occur in Reddit’s systems or directly within the client’s or partner’s codebase
• Architect integration approaches that span multiple systems or product surfaces, and provide technical guidance to both internal and external engineering teams executing the implementation
• Collaborate directly with engineering teams at partner (or direct advertiser) organizations to optimize performance, address integration gaps, and troubleshoot complex issues
• Lead onboarding, testing, and pre-launch support to ensure a smooth and successful implementation experience
• Anticipate how upcoming product or industry changes could impact Reddit’s advertising ecosystem and prepare partners (or direct advertisers) accordingly
• Work cross-functionally with Reddit’s Product, Engineering, and Business Development teams to shape and execute go-to-market strategies for new features and partner-facing programs
• Represent the technical voice of the partner (or direct advertiser) internally, surfacing feedback and influencing product and platform priorities to improve outcomes for both sides
• Help define and evolve reusable technical patterns, documentation, and tooling that streamline future integrations and improve the overall developer experience
• Support escalations for complex or high-impact integrations and provide clear, actionable direction to resolve blockers quickly and sustainably
