Staff Technical Product Manager, Ads ML Platform

Responsibilities

• Define the Vision: Shape the long-term strategy and roadmap for Reddit’s Ads ML platform, ensuring we are adopting cutting-edge technologies (including Generative AI and LLM workflows) to stay ahead of the curve.
• Accelerate Velocity
• Build products and tooling that dramatically reduce friction for Machine Learning Engineers (MLEs) and Data Scientists, enabling them to train, deploy, and iterate on models faster than ever.
• Cross-Functional Leadership
• Partner deeply with Engineering, Data Science, and Ads Product teams to understand their constraints, prioritize platform initiatives, and deliver scalable infrastructure.
• Drive Execution and Adoption
• Own key performance indicators (KPIs) around platform reliability, latency, cost-efficiency, usage metrics, and developer productivity.
• Stay Cutting-Edge: Keep your finger on the pulse of the broader ML ecosystem. Read the latest research papers, understand emerging architectures, and determine how they can be practically applied to Reddit’s Ads ML platform.
• Distill pain points, translate to requirements
• Conduct regular user research with MLEs in Ranking, Creative Effectiveness and Content Understanding to convert pain points (e.g., slow backfills, limited training speed, no way to quickly share features across models) into precise product requirements. Validate the needs and ensure they are tied into a broader vision…
