With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 97M+ daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit redditinc.com.

The Consumer Safety team's mission is to empower users with tools that help them manage their experience on Reddit, allowing them to have safer experiences and providing them the flexibility to define what “safe” means for them.

If ensuring the safety of users, moderators and communities on one of the most popular websites in the world excites you, then you’ve found the right place. We’re a fast-growing company but still maintain one of the highest user to employee ratios in the industry, giving you a tremendous opportunity for both scope and impact.

Responsibilities:

  • Build new and more powerful safety experiences and reporting tools that better meet the needs of Redditors
  • 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
  • Continuously learn and improve your technical and non-technical abilities

What we are looking for:

  • At least 3+ years of experience as a software engineer developing user-facing iOS mobile native applications at scale, using Swift or Objective-C.
  • Software development experience in one or more general-purpose programming languages; Java, Python, Go, Rust, C++.
  • Additional knowledge around GraphQL, REST, HTTP basics, and the ability to design maintainable APIs is a plus.
  • 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 collaborate effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

What Will Set You Apart:

  • Experience and or desire to learn and work in other tech stacks such as backend, web, or Android.
  • A passion for learning and adapting to new technologies that you lacked prior experience with.
  • Familiarity with reactive frameworks (RxSwift, Combine)
