    Reddit

    2 months, 3 weeks ago

    $230K - $322K base + equity

    We are looking for a staff MLE to join the Ads Content Understanding team. This team looks at all of the reddit content in order to understand what people are talking about. We own the knowledge graph for the entire company, and we also produce a number of interpretable signals that are then used either for RAG type products or as features for models. This is a horizontal/platform team, all of our customers are internal, and most of them are within the ads space, but we’re doing some interesting things with organic shopping experiences on reddit. There’s a lot of upside to this role, we’re still nascent on our ‘commercial intent’ understanding (think - is this post comparing tokyo vs kyoto, or is this post at a later stage in the trip planning journey, it is comparing hotels in kyoto). The job posting does a solid job of describing the responsibilities and expectations for this role. It’s a mix of modeling, engineering, leadership. Please apply if you think there’s a good fit, the ideal candidate has both leadership experience as well as domain experience with content understanding. Team is roughly split into two pods, knowledge graph (mostly EU eng) and signals (mostly US eng). This would be a TL role for the signals pod, so east coast timezone would have the most overlap with our team and partner teams. We also have an open Senior MLE headcount for this signals pod, and are expecting more headcount in Q3.
