Staff Software Engineer, Onboarding

Responsibilities

• 🏗️ Foster and Guide the Technical Strategy for Onboarding
• Define and accelerate the backend architecture for a newly onboarded user: the signal-collection systems that learn who a new Redditor is, the personalization pipelines that turn those signals into a tailored first feed, and the experimentation infrastructure that lets us iterate on the moments that decide whether…
• 🤝Partner With the EM to Cultivate a Growth Engineering Mindset
• Growth teams operate differently than platform teams. We prioritize experimentation and iteration, which means sometimes we throw things away to move faster. You'll help the team internalize that operating model: what it means to build for learning, how to balance velocity with reliability, and how to stay rigorous…
• 🤖Scale Impact Through Collaborative Engineering
• You'll build and maintain deep partnerships with the engineering teams whose surfaces directly shape a newly onboarded user's experience: Relevance, Feeds, Notifications, and beyond. Many of these collaborations will touch ML-powered systems that surface the right content to the right users. You'll be the bridge that…
• 📊Instrument, Measure, and Iterate
• Establish the instrumentation and experimentation foundations that let the team run rigorous A/B tests on growth levers. Use metrics to make the case for the bets worth taking, and deprioritize efforts that don't meet goals.
• 🔗Guide Cross-Functional Alignment
• Serve as the engineering voice in XFN partnerships with Product
