Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 126 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the largest and most influential platforms on the internet.
As Reddit continues to scale globally, reliability and performance are more critical than ever. The Site Experience SRE team sits at the intersection of infrastructure, product engineering, and user experience - ensuring that every interaction across web, mobile, APIs, feeds, media delivery, and real time systems is fast, reliable, and resilient.
We are looking for a Staff Site Reliability Engineer to lead reliability engineering initiatives for critical user facing systems at internet scale. In this role, you will partner closely with product and infrastructure teams to improve availability, latency, scalability, and operational excellence across Reddit’s most business critical experiences.
This is a highly technical leadership role for someone who thrives in large-scale distributed systems, enjoys solving complex reliability challenges, and can influence engineering culture across the organization.
You’ll help shape the reliability and performance of one of the internet’s largest platforms, influencing experiences used by millions of people every day. This is an opportunity to solve deeply complex engineering problems at massive scale while helping define the future of reliability engineering for a modern consumer platform.
In select roles and locations, the interviews will be recorded, transcribed and summarized by artificial intelligence (AI). You will have the opportunity to opt out of recording, transcription and summarization prior to any scheduled interviews.
