Role

Who you are

An experienced iOS engineer who has built and shipped consumer-facing native applications at scale using Swift
A strategic, product-minded partner who connects technical decisions to user and business outcomes and can lead through ambiguity
A clear and collaborative communicator who can explain complex tradeoffs, influence stakeholders, and build alignment across teams
A curious, adaptable, and ownership-oriented teammate who embraces experimentation, learns from setbacks, improves processes, and helps others succeed
Professional experience developing native iOS applications with Swift and a strong understanding of iOS frameworks and application architecture
Ability to write idiomatic, readable, reusable, and testable code, with strong skills in debugging, performance optimization, reliability, and maintainability
Experience designing mobile systems and interfaces, evaluating architectural tradeoffs, and building scalable features from APIs through user-facing UI
Experience with experimentation, feature flags, instrumentation, analytics, and product or quality-of-experience metrics; familiarity with AVFoundation, VideoToolbox, HLS, media playback, recommendation systems, accessibility, or ML-integrated products is a plus

Core Product & Feeds: Home Experience, Recommendations & Content Discovery, Contribution
Community & Presence: Reddit Pro, Youth Experience & Teen Safety, Creator Tools
Growth & Engagement: Authentication, Notifications, Social Sharing, SEO, Onboarding
Monetization & Conversion: Paid User Acquisition, Conversion Funnel Optimization

What You’ll Do:
Build and evolve user-facing iOS experiences that help people discover, consume, create, and engage with content and communities
Lead projects through the full development lifecycle, from product definition and technical design to implementation, experimentation, launch, and ongoing improvement
Partner with product, design, data science, ML, backend, and platform teams to shape strategy, translate technical capabilities into intuitive experiences, and deliver measurable user impact
Improve iOS architecture, performance, reliability, accessibility, developer workflows, and engineering standards while mentoring teammates and driving cross-functional technical initiatives

Our take

Reddits is an online platform that hosts thousands of message board communities (known as subreddits) designed to foster authentic human connection. With more than 130,000 communities covering everything from food, entertainment and sports, to niche interests for highly specific audiences, there's virtually a space for everyone.

The platform attracts over 120 million daily users and billions of monthly page views. While these figures are smaller than those of social media giants like Facebook and X, Reddit stands out by offering easily discoverable communities where users can dive deep into virtually any topic imaginable.

Today, Reddit continues to grow its user base and expand its reach, remaining a unique hub for conversation, connection and shared interests. With its strong community-driven model and steady revenue streams, it's most definitely positioned to stay a central part of online culture for years to come.
