Engineering Manager - Ads Data Platform

Engineering Manager - Ads Data Platform

Reddit is a community of communities. It's built on shared interests, passion, and trust and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. With more than 50 million people visiting 100,000+ communities daily, it is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. From pets to parenting, skincare to stocks, there's a community for everybody on Reddit.

Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. This role offers flexibility and is remote-friendly, however, it is important that the candidate is based in the proximity of the SF Bay Area office (Pacific time) or the NYC office (Eastern time).

Ads Data Platform team's mission is to build a performant, reliable and efficient platform and end-user tools for the collection, storage, management, and analysis of Reddit Ads data to support data-intensive applications and data-driven decisions at scale. We are aiming to integrate and simplify the data usage patterns across Ads, remove redundancies / fragmentation, centralize reusable components / tools, drive adoption of Reddit shaped core-infra owned services / design patterns, leading to more efficient Ads data systems and higher developer velocity.

In pursuit of the team mission, we follow a 3 pronged strategy :

• Unification : Identify and unify / simplify different data usage / integration patterns that are trying to do the same thing, but ownership is fragmented. For e.g. enrichment of a dataset, different teams enrich the same dataset, for their product requirements or different teams are trying to set up similar data processing tools.
• Centralization : Based on the simplification of data usage patterns, tease out the reusable tools / components, and build / own them for the entire Ads engineering. Reuse core-infrastructure supported tools / services. For e.g. for batch data processing, spark hosted on kubernetes, instead of each team bootstrapping their own spark instances, Data Platform owns the spark infra horizontally.
• Optimization : Focus on efficiency, both on development life-cycle and resource usage. Drive adoption and migration towards a more optimized data infrastructure, for all of Ads engineering.

Key guiding principles, that we adhere to, as we evolve the data infrastructure for Reddit Ads :
