Company mission

Reddit's mission is to bring community and belonging to everyone.

Role

Who you are

  • 5+ years of experience working in the infrastructure and/or deployment domain. Specifically with a focus on software engineering (as opposed to systems operations)
  • Language proficiency in either Go (Preferred), Rust, or Python
  • Experience developing on top of Kubernetes or similar distributed systems
  • Experience utilizing systems in the continuous delivery domain such as Argo, Flux, Temporal, and similar systems
  • Strong troubleshooting competency ranging from higher-level orchestration concerns to lower-level runtime ones
  • Experience designing large systems, scoping work, and building consensus with other engineers
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate with a service-oriented team and company

What the job involves

  • The Deployment Infrastructure team is looking to hire a Senior Software Engineer with a focus on creating robust, automated, deployment systems that balance reliability and efficiency
  • Work collaboratively with a team of software engineers build and deploy software capable of:
  • Orchestrating complex deployment workflows
  • Progressively rolling out services globally
  • Achieving automated rollback of failed deployments
  • Providing insight and monitoring around the health of deployments
  • Work with our end-users to establish requirements and designs
  • Integrate open source technologies, largely in the CNCF ecosystem and at times contribute to them to help meet Reddit’s business needs
  • Build end user tooling, for example CLI utilities in Go that help interact with dashboards
  • Share on-call responsibilities with the deployment infrastructure team

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.
