The Top of Funnel team is key to user growth. By combining our knowledge of search engines, with an eye for the best user experiences we have the opportunity to introduce Reddit to new and unfamiliar users and transform them into deeply engaged users.

We're looking for a backend engineer who is comfortable taking on the end-to-end delivery & technical leadership of complex services.

Location:

Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. This role is completely remote-friendly.

However, to accommodate the distributed nature of the Top of Funnel team as well as the rest of Reddit's workforce, candidates in Ireland (Dublin) or the UK (London) are preferred.

What You'll Do:

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, and giving feedback on product specs and mocks.

Foster a data-driven culture within the team by running experiments, discovering insights, and generating ideas to optimize our systems.

Take accountability for the delivery of projects, be a hands-on engineer, and deliver solid and maintainable code.

Bring ideas, and directly influence the team's roadmap, collaborating closely with XFN stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For:

5+ years of software engineering experience, with experience in working cross-functionally to lead projects from start to finish with end-user impact.

We are language agnostic when hiring but use primarily Golang and Python in the backend stack.

Excellent communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

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.

Nice to have:

Knowledge in data engineering including design, development and implementation of complex systems and data pipelines.

Experience working with data streaming/batch solutions such as Kafka, Flink, Spark, Storm, or others.
Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases (MySql, Postgres, Teradata, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, HBase, etc.)

Benefits:

Group Personal Pension Scheme with Employer match

Private Medical and Dental Scheme

Income Replacement Programs

Family Planning Support

Gender-Affirming Care

Mental Health & Coaching Benefits

Bike to Work scheme

Flexible Vacation & Reddit Global Days Off
