It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 130 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com. The Ranking Platform team builds and runs the services that coordinate contextualized and personalized ranking on Reddit. We build infrastructure, including a scatter-gather ranking coordination service, feature indexes, and scalable data pipelines that power personalized feeds, search, and other Reddit products. We partner closely with machine learning engineers who develop and productionize models, and with ML Platform teams that build inference and training services and feature stores. Our team mantra is “Intention over Attention.” We help users fulfill their intention for visiting Reddit by connecting them with relevant content and communities. We are a team of builders who value impact, personal growth, openness, and kindness. ### How You’ll Have Impact As Engineering Manager for Ranking Platform, you will lead the team building a robust, scalable, reliable, and performant ranking and indexing platform. You will partner with senior engineers, backend architects, product managers, and ML leaders to translate product needs into a clear platform strategy and deliver it from ideation through production. You will be accountable for the team’s health, growth, execution, and operational excellence. Working with technical leaders, you will guide architecture and investment decisions, improve the experience of teams building on the platform, and balance new capabilities with reliability, latency, and infrastructure cost. ### What You’ll Do - Lead: Set the team’s direction and roadmap with senior engineers and partner teams. Select, scope, and deliver high-impact initiatives that evolve the ranking coordination services, ML indexes, and data pipelines supporting Reddit’s feeds and discovery experiences. - Build: Hire, onboard, and develop a high-performing engineering team. Set clear expectations, provide actionable feedback, manage performance, and create growth opportunities for engineers at different career stages. Maintain direct feedback loops with engineers using the platform, and use their feedback and adoption patterns to guide investment. - Amplify: Coach engineers and technical leaders, delegate meaningful ownership, and build a culture of technical excellence, inclusion, and knowledge sharing. Protect engineers’ focus time by removing blockers, reducing unnecessary interruptions and keeping processes lightweight. - Deliver: Turn multi-quarter platform investments into achievable milestones. Manage dependencies and risks, communicate tradeoffs and progress, and adapt priorities as partner and business needs evolve. - Operate: Drive operational excellence through incident response, blameless postmortems, observability, safe rollouts, and proactive system hardening. Establish clear reliability and performance goals and use them to guide investment. Plan realistically for on-call work and unexpected requests, make reprioritization explicit and address unsustainable operational load. - Collaborate: Build strong partnerships with Feed, Search, Ads, ML Platform, and infrastructure teams. Align roadmaps, resolve competing requirements, and make platform capabilities easier to adopt and operate. - Evolve: Guide architectural improvements and engineering best practices that make ranking systems more efficient, maintainable, and scalable. Create space for experimentation and continuous learning while holding a high bar for production readiness, spotting unnecessary complexity and recognizing where simplification or consolidation would improve maintainability and help teams work more effectively. ### What We’re Looking For - 5+ years of people management experience leading high-performing engineering teams, including hiring, coaching, career development, and performance management. --- Data: alder (https://alderhq.app).
