Job description

The Compliance Engineering team is responsible for preparing Reddit's platforms for evolving regulatory requirements. We're building products that establish the foundation of trust in the Reddit platform, while partnering closely with teams across the company to ensure our platforms and features meet the highest standards. Engineers on this team will thrive in dynamic, ambiguous problem spaces and work across multiple domains and technology stacks.

What You'll Do:

  • Shape the future of Reddit by adapting our platforms to an evolving privacy, security, and regulatory landscape
  • Partner with product, design, and engineering teams across the company to build trusted, compliant experiences for millions of users
  • Join a highly visible team where you'll influence both technical and product strategy, and help define an entirely new product space
  • Own product areas and shape strategy end-to-end: from technical design and coding to testing, experimentation, analysis, and launch
  • Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives that are critical to Reddit's business and platform integrity
  • Raise the bar for engineering by improving workflows, setting standards, and mentoring the next generation of engineers

Qualifications for this role: 

  • 5+ years backend development experience with multiple parts of the backend stack, from databases to networking to efficient computing. We develop with Go, Python, Postgres, Redis, Thrift, GraphQL and deploy to Docker/k8s on AWS.
  • Experience as a tech lead on projects and teams with 3+ backend engineers
  • Ability to design and implement complex distributed systems operating under high load.
  • You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure.
  • 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.
  • Experience mentoring engineers, owning team processes, and leading cross-functional projects is preferred.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
  • 401k with Employer Match
  • 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
  • Flexible Vacation & Paid Volunteer Time Off
  • Generous Paid Parental Leave
