The front page of the internet, Reddit brings over 430 million people together each month through their common interests, inviting them to share, vote, comment, and create across thousands of communities.

The User Understanding team is a key part of the machine learning strategy at Reddit and serves as the central location for accessing and leveraging inferences and aggregations about users. We power ML with real-time, reliable, and ethics-driven user features.

How You'll Have Impact

As the 6th largest site on the internet, Reddit generates billions of events and terabytes of data in a day. You will own projects from ideation to production instead of being stuck making small incremental gains on enterprise systems. We are looking for Infrastructure and Data Engineers to join us in solving problems in order to enable products that millions of users will love, and ultimately bring community and belonging to Reddit’s users. We are a team of builders that value impact, personal growth, openness and kindness.

What You’ll Do

As an engineer on the User Understanding team, you will design and build high-scale pipelines that process billions of events a day.
