Job Description
Reddit is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead its Conversion Modeling team within Ads. The team builds and maintains ML models that increase conversions for Reddit's advertisers, with a focus on lower-funnel actions such as purchases, sign-ups and add-to-cart events. The listing is marked remote, with applicants accepted from any U.S. location. The posting says the lower-funnel business is expanding fast, and that upgrading ranking-based conversion models is key to sustaining that growth.
The manager sets the team's vision, charts strategic direction and runs a technical roadmap that weighs new modeling approaches against business objectives. Responsibilities include overseeing models from ideation through deployment, recruiting, mentoring and retaining engineers, and coordinating with product managers, data scientists and other engineering groups on engagement strategy, data needs and model metrics. The role also involves designing model architectures for conversion prediction using deep learning and other advanced techniques.
Required qualifications include at least two years of experience leading and growing high-performing machine learning teams, preferably in advertising, with tech lead experience also considered. Candidates should have hands-on experience deploying large-scale models, along with background in ads conversion modeling, ranking and recommendation systems.
