With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 126 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com. The mission of the Developer Experience org is to design, develop, and support tools and processes that make common developer workflows efficient and reliable. AI-powered and agentic developer tools are changing what is possible, creating an opportunity to rethink how engineers write, test, review, ship, and operate software. At Reddit’s scale, that means building tools that are not only more intelligent, but also faster, more reliable, easier to use, and grounded in strong engineering fundamentals. This role sits at the center of that work: owning frontend development for Reddit’s internal developer tooling, from understanding developer pain points and designing the right user experience to building scalable, maintainable interfaces that support the full path from the first line of code to the artifact released at the end of the process. You’ll help explore new AI-powered workflows while continuing to build the core interfaces, platform capabilities, and engineering fundamentals that make developer tools useful, trustworthy, and reliable. Some of our present and future challenges include: Designing and building the next generation of developer tooling, including agentic and AI-powered workflows. Improving developer velocity, confidence, and service reliability across Reddit Engineering. Building tools and workflows that make writing, testing, reviewing, and shipping code easier. Architecting and improving continuous delivery experiences for hundreds of engineers. Scaling our infrastructure, interfaces, and processes to
