Don't live near one of our offices? No worries: You can apply to work remotely in any country in which we have a physical presence.
The Developer Platform team helps developers build powerful interactive experiences that take their communities to the next level. Imagine multiplayer games played asynchronously or with other redditors in real time, live stock tickers, or live scoreboards. If you have experience with ranking and want to help introduce Redditors to their next favorite game on Reddit, then look on further. Our highly collaborative and impactful team is looking for your expertise!
You will own projects from ideation to production instead of being stuck making small incremental gains on enterprise systems. You’ll work with a super talented, cross-functional team to solve hard problems in order to create experiences that users will love. We are a team of builders that value impact, personal growth, openness and kindness.
Responsibilities:
- Work cross-functionally with product, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy and build novel products and features that our users will love.
- Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks.
- Participate with a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Contribute to standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help mentor junior engineers on the team to grow their technical expertise.
- Move fast while balancing quality. We can’t afford extensive processes, and we also can’t afford show-stopping bugs. We need someone who can balance speed with quality while quickly building brand-new products.
Required Qualifications:
- BS degree in Computer Science, a similar technical field of study or equivalent practical experience
- 3+ years of industry experience in large-scale distributed systems
- 5+ years of hands-on, professional software development experience in one or more general purpose programming languages (Go, Python, Ruby, Java, C++)
- Experienced with GraphQL, REST, HTTP, gRPC basics, and the ability to design and implement maintainable APIs
- Any experience working with ML teams and systems is a plus, but not mandatory
- A track record of developing and improving highly scalable and reliable serving systems
- A track record of leading projects that require cross-team and cross-functional collaborations
- Strong organizational skills, the ability to prioritize tasks and to deliver projects on schedule
- Entrepreneurial spirit. You are self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action in fast-paced environments. You love to build new things and thrive in ambiguity and even failure
- Excellent communication skills. You partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences
Benefits:
- Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
- 401k Match
