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.
