We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager, Performance to lead company-wide programs that improve the speed, reliability, and quality of Reddit’s user experience. This role will partner with engineering leaders in product engineering, infrastructure, client platforms, data science, and senior technical leadership to make performance a measurable, durable, and consistently protected part of how Reddit builds and ships software.
Performance is foundational to user trust, engagement, and long-term growth. This role will help Reddit build the path for sustained performance improvement: broad enough to work across platforms and organizations, focused enough to address current issues, and measurable enough to prove whether we are improving the lived experience of users. Just as importantly, this role will help bring teams along for that change, building trust across functions and helping Reddit evolve how we make performance part of our engineering culture.
At Reddit, Technical Program Managers use technical judgment to define and drive large programs across multiple teams. They partner closely with engineering and product leaders to develop strategies and solutions, drive project impact, execute on planning, and gain alignment with cross-functional stakeholders. They engage with teams to determine root causes, identify and select alternative solutions, and use their technical expertise to understand the effects, impacts, and risks of a solution. Above and beyond program-level impact, they build execution processes and reduce inefficiencies to build overall scale.
This role reports into the TPM team within Reddit's Engineering Operations organization. As a Principal TPM, you will operate at executive and company scope, shaping strategy across multiple organizations, creating alignment where ownership is ambiguous, and setting the bar for how Reddit executes complex technical programs. High-quality technical program management is a distinct and high-value skill set, and while this role does not involve direct people management, it is part of Reddit's organizational leadership. At this level, success means delivering programs while also changing how teams think, collaborate, and make decisions so that new systems, standards, and behaviors can take root across the company.
You will own and drive programs across Reddit's Performance portfolio, spanning mobile and web performance, client reliability, critical user journeys, observability, experimentation guardrails, release quality, and long-term performance operating mechanisms. You will partner deeply with engineering teams as a technical peer, not from the stratosphere, but in the details, bringing programs to completion, balancing risk across systems and organizations, and ensuring execution stays aligned to Reddit's long-term performance strategy.
In this role, you will:

Current openings list remote eligibility in the United States, Canada (British Columbia and Ontario), the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and the Netherlands. Reddit also keeps offices open in cities like San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Berlin, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Sydney, so remote employees near a hub can drop in whenever they like.
Reddit lists workspace and home office benefits among its published perks, so equipment and home office costs are supported, and its Ireland careers site additionally names a monthly cell phone allowance. Reddit publishes no amount for either, and no coworking allowance appears on any page Reddit controls, so treat any specific figure you see elsewhere as unconfirmed.
Reddit publishes more than four months of paid parental leave for all parents, with no split between birthing and non-birthing parents, alongside family planning funds. Time off is flexible rather than accrued, and everyone gets company-wide Reddit Global Days Off on top of it. Personal and professional development funds round out the package. Reddit publishes no amount for the family planning or development funds.
Yes for US roles. Reddit shares base salary ranges on all US-based job postings regardless of state, using standardized pay bands by function, level, and location. Compensation also includes restricted stock units for all employees and commission for sales roles.
Engineering, data science, product, and security roles are posted overwhelmingly as remote, especially in the US and Canada. Sales and some revenue roles are tied to office hubs such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Toronto, London, Berlin, and Amsterdam, so expect an in-office component there.
