Software Engineer (Consumer Engineering)

Join Reddit's Consumer Engineering organization as a Software Engineer. In this role, you will build and scale products that Redditors use to discover content, participate in communities, and connect with others. You will partner with cross-functional teams to translate business and user needs into technical solutions, own the full software lifecycle for major product initiatives, and design and evaluate A/B experiments. You will also build and maintain scalable APIs and distributed backend services, establish engineering best practices, and mentor teammates.

• Collaborer étroitement avec les équipes de gestion de produit, de conception de produit, de science des données et d'ingénierie client pour traduire les besoins commerciaux et utilisateurs en solutions techniques fiables.
• Posséder l'ensemble du cycle de vie logiciel pour les initiatives majeures de produits, de la conception technique aux tests, au déploiement et à l'observabilité.
• Concevoir, construire et évaluer des expériences A/B, et utiliser des outils d'analyse pour prendre des décisions d'ingénierie basées sur les données.

• Collaborative Communicator: Outstanding communication skills with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment in fully remote or hybrid team environments
• API Design: Expertise in designing and maintaining scalable, maintainable APIs using GraphQL, REST, or gRPC for native mobile and web applications
• Technical Rigor at Scale: 3+ years of hands-on backend development experience building and operating large-scale distributed serving systems in high-concurrency environments
• Languages: Proficiency in modern backend languages such as Go or Python (or Java, Kotlin, Rust, C++)
• Data-Informed & Hypothesis-Driven: Comfortable working alongside Data Scientists and PMs to design experiments, establish core performance metrics, and iterate quickly based on real-time feedback
• Data & Caching: Experience with high-throughput caching layers and distributed datastores (e.g., Redis, Cassandra, PostgreSQL)
• User-Centric Mindset: An advocate for the user with an intuitive feel for product usability, interaction design, social dynamics, and user growth loops. You care deeply about why a feature is being built and its impact on the end user
• Modern Workflows: Experience or interest in using AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate development workflows
• Bias for Action: Self-directed, innovative, and comfortable navigating ambiguity in fast-paced product environments where balancing velocity with system reliability is essential
