Summary

Join Reddit's Pro team as a Staff Engineer (Tech Lead) and lead the team in rapidly developing high-quality products. This impactful, fully remote role (US/Canada only) involves technical and product strategy, contributing to a new product space. You will collaborate cross-functionally, participate in the full development lifecycle, contribute to team strategy, and mentor junior engineers. The position requires significant software development experience, specific front-end skills, and strong communication abilities. Reddit offers competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.

Requirements

  • Minimum 8+ years of post-internship, full-time, hands-on, professional software development experience developing software in one or more front end focused programming languages; Javascript, Typescript, ES6
  • Experience with one or more front-end web frameworks such as LIT, Polymer, React, Vue, or Angular with experience with CSS
  • Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and to deliver projects on schedule
  • BS degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience
  • Entrepreneurial spirit. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure
  • Excellent communication skills. You partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences

Responsibilities

  • Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love
  • Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks
  • 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
  • Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help mentor junior engineers on the team to grow their technical expertise
  • Move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need someone who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products
