Senior Engineering Manager

Description:

The Chat team is part of the X division at Reddit and is among the most innovative and forward-looking teams at the company. Communities on Reddit have a need to provide synchronous conversations with immediate feedback, but that need is not clearly met on today’s platform. Our goal is to build a solution that becomes a core part of Reddit’s present and future.

Building this future requires a careful balance of engineering, product, design, and business. It’s a matter of building the right user experience and orchestrating a team to success. That’s where you come in. We’re looking for a Senior Engineering Manager who can work at the intersection of these problems and lead the team to build our vision.

What you’ll do
 

• Build and manage a team of 15+ engineers (mobile, web, backend, QA), hiring top-notch individual contributors and/or managers and giving them room to shine.
• We need to find great engineers, keep them motivated, and help them reach their full potential.
• Work cross-functionally with product, design, data, and other engineering teams to plan product and business strategy, and to build novel products and features that 450 million monthly uniques will love.
• Participate in the full development cycle: design, development, QA, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code, writing design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks, and generally helping out wherever is needed.
