The Infrastructure organization enables Reddit to deliver reliability, performance, and efficiency with a single opinionated technology stack. The Ingestion Platform team within Infrastructure builds a low-code interface for moving data from supported sources to supported sinks, making it easier for teams across Reddit to create reliable, scalable data pipelines without building and operating bespoke infrastructure. Our platform supports streaming and batch data movement from Kafka to destinations such as BigQuery and object storage, and is expanding toward S3/GCS, Apache Iceberg, transformations, deduplication, and additional sinks. We work closely with Data Pipelines, Data Movement, Ads Data Platform, ML Indexing, Flink Platform, Storage, and other partner teams to improve developer velocity, reliability, observability, and operational efficiency.
We are looking to hire a Staff Software Engineer to help shape and scale this platform. This is a high-impact role where your technical judgment, customer empathy, and operational mindset will influence the future direction of data movement at Reddit.
What You’ll Do:
As a Staff Engineer, you will lead the development and evolution of Reddit’s Ingestion Platform.
This job posting may span more than one career level.

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.
