• Work with a cross-functional team to build high quality experiences that meet customer needs
• Contribute to the direction of future mobile architecture at Reddit
• Improve Reddit for everyone. We constantly seek to balance advertiser needs with user experience with projects like reporting and hiding ads that put more control in the hands of Reddit users

• Expertise in Java and/or Kotlin
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Attention to detail (both technical and product-oriented) with every feature
