Experience with one or more front-end web frameworks such as LIT, Polymer, React, Vue, or Angular with experience with CSS

Experienced with distributed caching layers, and distributed large scale data storage systems

What the job involves

The Reddit Pro team’s mission is to empower brands, organizations and professionals to create engaging content for our communities while growing their presence on Reddit through Reddit Pro
Reddit Pro is an ongoing initiative that offers advanced tooling for businesses that unlocks the power of Reddit’s 100k active communities & conversations – where opinions are formed and decisions are made
Longer term, businesses will also be able to build on this deep relationship with their Reddit communities by leveraging complementary monetized solutions from Reddit
This is a high-impact role where you will be involved in technical & product strategy and have a chance to get in on the ground floor of a new product space
Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love
Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks
Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help mentor junior engineers on the team to grow their technical expertise
Move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need someone who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products

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.
