  • Liaise with the centralized experimentation team in building platform features to accelerate ads experimentation.
  • Develop and adopt metrics and statistical methods that help ads product teams better measure their feature areas, as well as the toolset to help experimenters understand the “why” behind what they are seeing in their experiments.
  • Serve as a thought-partner for product managers, engineering managers and leadership from your respective product domain, communicating and shaping the roadmap and strategy for Reddit by identifying actionable and impactful insights through experimentation.

  • Deep understanding of online experimentation and causal inference. Able to demonstrate application of the statistical underpinnings of experimentation: hypothesis testing, p-values, causal inference, etc.
  • Fluent with statistical analysis, programming languages (e.g., Python/R) and querying relational databases (e.g., SQL)
  • Comfortable in innovative and fast-paced environments, and an innate ability to bias toward action
  • Strong technical communication and demonstrated ability to discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences alike
  • Able to tackle ambiguous and undefined problems
  • Experience with digital advertising and marketplace dynamics is preferred, but not required.
