You will provide guidance to the team working on building video ads as well as reddit-unique ad formats that scale to millions of users, by establishing Android best practices and providing design reviews. You will drive the entire development lifecycle,from early-stage discovery and prototyping to testing, data-driven experimentation, and deployment.

You will raise the bar by mentoring senior engineers across teams in ad formats and establishing best practices for design, testing and operational excellence, while also leading by example in understanding and advocating for our customers.

We expect you to have 8+ years of software engineering experience (Staff level seniority), deep expertise in Kotlin and modern Android architectural patterns, completed 4+ Android development projects from ideation to deployment in production, prior experience in Ad Tech, building highly interactive/rich-media mobile experiences, and a proven track record of delivering user-facing features where UI polish and performance are critical.

You will also have the ability to navigate complex, data-intensive environments and build fault-tolerant client-side systems, experience leveraging GenAI tools to increase software engineering productivity, fluency working with product metrics, designing and analyzing experiments with exposure to tools like BigQuery, HEX, Firebase, etc., and an openness to work across the stack when necessary and explore innovative approaches (e.g., AI/ML integration).

You must be self-directed, innovative, and biased towards action, live to build new things and thrive in ambiguity, and have excellent communication skills to collaborate with teams in a fully remote environment, and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

It would be a bonus if you have experience working on Video Ads, experience working at a scaled peer company, and experience with Jetpack Compose.

We offer comprehensive healthcare benefits and income replacement programs, 401k with employer match, global benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support, family planning support, gender-affirming care, mental health & coaching benefits, flexible vacation & paid volunteer time off, and generous paid parental leave.
