Job description

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 82M+ daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit redditinc.com.

The Client Platform Organization defines how we build and more importantly, how we build with excellence. It’s not enough for Reddit just to work, it needs to work every time for every user on every device in every location. The Client Platform Organization invests in our Software Architecture, Developer Experience, and Client Health in support of a better Reddit experience.

The Web Platform team sets the technical direction for Web at Reddit. Our customers are primarily other engineers. It’s our job to help improve developer efficiency by providing libraries/APIs/frameworks, monitoring performance, building shared components, improving build tools, etc. We set the direction for the codebase by defining which design patterns and technologies to employ at Reddit.

We’ve been hard at work rewriting our website from scratch over the last couple of years. The new web experience is more than twice as fast as our previous web platforms - which means Redditors can get directly to the content they came for – instead of waiting… and waiting for the page to load. As the Engineering Manager on Reddit’s Web Platform Team, you’ll use your engineering, collaboration, and leadership skills to deliver a performant experience to millions of Redditors, and lead the architectural decision-making of Reddit’s Web engineering organization. You'll collaborate cross-functionally to innovate and replace our internal frameworks and tooling to help Reddit’s feature teams write performant code without a second thought. This is a critical role for enabling Reddit's future growth plans.

What You’ll Do:

Build, hire and lead a high-caliber team of Web developers.
Be responsible for setting and maintaining latency, stability, and developer productivity goals for the Web Applications.
Coach and mentor engineers on the team to further their professional development.
Set and support a metrics-driven culture, with efficient processes and strong transparency.
Work with feature teams across the company to follow the best practices and to deliver high quality code for Reddit’s Web applications.

Who You Might Be:

Preferred: 4-8 years experience of leading a team of software engineers, as a people manager.
8+ years of experience developing internet-scale software, preferably in platform development roles.
Strong experience in setting the goals, execution, and accountability.
Software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages and web frameworks; Typescript, Node.js, Lit Element
Strong organizational skills, Influential skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and keep projects on schedule.
Excellent communication, planning & collaboration skills

Benefits:

Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits
401k Matching
Workspace benefits for your home office
Personal & Professional development funds
Family Planning Support
Flexible Vacation (please use them!) & Reddit Global Wellness Days
4+ months paid Parental Leave
Paid Volunteer time off
