Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. We're completely remote friendly and will continue to be after the pandemic.

Reddit is a platform that both celebrates and benefits from our user's creativity, and we're working on a new canvas for them to paint with. Tens of thousands of developers are already building against our API, but we can do so much more.

The Developer Platform team's goal is to allow communities to find and install plugins that completely customize & transform members' experiences and interactions. Everything's on the table, including comment sorting, custom post types, and more. Many communities may become immersive, game-like experiences.

We need you to join us to help us explore what's possible, by building features that make community customization more immersive and interesting, and by making the related tooling easier to use and operate.

Responsibilities

On the team, you will:

• Build and manage a team of 5-8 engineers, hiring top-notch individual contributors and giving them room to shine.
• Be a strong mentor and cross-functional advocate for your team.
• Understand team, product, engineering, and company dynamics enough to keep your team focused and effective under a wide variety of conditions.
• Teach your team to move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need people who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products.
• Contribute meaningfully to team strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning for the future. Don’t just come along for the ride.
• Communicate effectively, within the team and across disciplines. Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences.

Qualifications

• Likely 7+ years of industry experience, preferably building customer-facing features of a well-crafted app, or perhaps working in an agency to build a variety of experiences.
• 3+ years of experience managing engineering teams
• You care about craftsmanship and approach problems holistically, developing well-designed software that people love.
• Entrepreneurial spirit. On our team, everyone needs to act like a startup CEO. You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
• Excellent communication skills. You must be able to collaborate effectively with teams in a fully-remote environment, and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.
