About the role

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 130 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com.

This role is open to candidates based in the UK or the Netherlands.

Our ads team is developing Dynamic Product Ads, enabling us to match users to specific advertiser products. Our vision is for Reddit’s product ads to be highly relevant and contextual. A user browsing r/golf sees ads for popular golf clubs. A user reading a thread on r/buyitforlife about sunglasses sees ads for the exact models being discussed, just a few clicks away from a purchase. To achieve this vision, we need a highly scalable catalog infrastructure and intuitive user experience to onboard thousands of advertisers and ingest millions of products into our systems.

As the Engineering Manager for the Product Catalogs team at Reddit, you will lead the full stack team responsible for our entire advertiser-facing experience. You will build UIs, APIs, and backend systems that manage advertiser’s products. The team also works closely with the knowledge graph teams to power organic shopping. This role combines technical expertise, leadership abilities, and drive to understand and deliver on customer needs.

Responsibilities:

Create a world class catalogs system that can scale to support billions of products

Work closely with product managers and designers to craft compelling user experiences

Collaborate with a wide range of teams from Ad Formats to Ad Delivery to ensure successful end-to-end delivery of product ads

Be a strong mentor and cross-functional advocate for your team

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.

Required Qualifications:

7+ years of experience in backend or full stack product development

2+ years of experience managing engineering teams

You're highly technical, enough to solve almost any problem your team has yourself, but you prefer to guide your team into solving them.

Ability to work independently. You’ll be working with stakeholders that are mostly based in North America. You need to be able to make decisions and solve problems autonomously.

Excellent communication skills. You must be able to collaborate effectively with teams in a fully-remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

Benefits:

Global Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support

Family Planning Support

Gender-Affirming Care

Mental Health & Coaching Benefits

Private Pension plan with Employer-matching

100% employer-sponsored group medical plan
