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

"The front page of the internet,” Reddit brings over 500 million people together each month through their common interests, inviting them to share, vote, comment, and create across thousands of communities. Come for the cats, stay for the empathy.

Video on Reddit is one of the fastest growing areas within the company. Dubsmash is the short video platform that elevates underrepresented communities and helps them earn a living. In December of 2020, Dubsmash was acquired by Reddit Inc. and is now shaping how communities come together with video at the core. A lean and high output team, an estimated 25% of all Black American teens use the app on the monthly basis, with 30% of its daily users creating video. Last year, the company reported hitting the milestone of 1 billion video views. 

Dubsmash is a largely autonomous unit within Reddit, running independent processes that focus on shipping high quality products with cutting edge technologies, every two weeks. Over the past 2 years, the team has shipped over 60+ versions of the applications to its customer base. In 2021, the team will be shipping huge updates to the product, transforming the way consumers interact through video. Being a part of this team, you will benefit from seeing your output live on the App Store every two weeks, while enjoying the benefits Reddit Inc. has to offer.
