Role
Who you are
- 4+ years of hands-on professional Front End experience
- We are language agnostic when hiring but use primarily golang, python in the backend stack and Web Components/lit on the frontend
- Previous experience of building modern performant web applications is key
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical teams in a fully remote environment
- Entrepreneurial spirit. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure
What the job involves
- Reddit is poised to rapidly innovate and grow like no other time in its history. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark on one of the most influential and trafficked corners of the internet
- The Top of Funnel team is key to user growth. By combining our knowledge of search, cutting edge technology, and an eye for new user experiences we get the opportunity to present Reddit to new and unfamiliar users, with the mission of bringing community and belonging to everyone in the world
- Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute product and business strategies and build novel products and features that our users will love
- Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines. Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences
- Contribute meaningfully to our team’s strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning our future. Don’t just come along for the ride

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 100,000 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 52M daily users and more than 50B monthly page views. While these figures are smaller than those of social media giants like Facebook and X, Reddits 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,m 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.
