Engineering Manager

Who you are

• 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

What the job involves

• 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.

This role combines technical expertise, leadership abilities, and a drive to understand and deliver on customer needs
• 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
