Full Job Description
Team Overview

We are building the next generation of ML research tools and agentic AI platforms that power machine learning development across Reddit. Our mission is to accelerate the Ads ML lifecycle - from experimentation and training to deployment, evaluation, and autonomous operations - through scalable platform services, intelligent automation, and developer-centric tooling.

Our team owns critical platform capabilities including offline ML experimentation systems, production training orchestration frameworks, ML lifecycle automation and, agentic ML frameworks that enable faster model iterations.

We are looking for an experienced engineer with deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems, ML platforms, and emerging agentic architectures to help define and build the foundational tooling for the next generation of our machine learning devX tooling.

What You'll Do
  • Design and build large-scale offline ML experimentation platforms that enable reproducible research, model development, evaluation, and promotion workflows.
  • Develop production-grade training orchestration frameworks supporting distributed training, hyperparameter optimization, model evaluation, and automated retraining.
  • Build infrastructure for experiment tracking, metadata management, lineage, artifact versioning, model registries, and reproducibility.
  • Partner with ML engineers and researchers to improve experimentation velocity and operational efficiency.
  • Build automated workflows for model promotion, rollback, compliance validation, and continuous evaluation.
  • Design and build an agentic AI execution platform supporting autonomous and human-in-the-loop workflows, including multi-agent orchestration, memory/context systems, and scalable workflow infrastructure.

What You Bring
  • 5+ years in infrastructure/platform engineering or large-scale distributed systems.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience building and operating production ML infrastructure, developer SDKs, platform APIs, or self-service AI tooling.
  • Experience building workflow orchestration systems, developer platforms, or large-scale automation frameworks.
  • Experience with distributed data processing systems such as Spark, Flink, Ray, or equivalent technologies.
  • Experience with modern orchestration and workflow technologies such as Kubeflow, Argo, Airflow, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience building offline ML experimentation platforms, model registries, experiment tracking systems, or training orchestration frameworks.
  • Experience building and operating agentic AI systems, including multi-agent orchestration, autonomous workflows, and agent communication/runtime frameworks (e.g., MCP, A2A, and orchestration systems) is a strong plus
  • Experience running end-to-end model development and iteration cycles at scale is a plus

About Reddit

Reddit is an American social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "communities" or "subreddits", which cover topics such as news, politics, religion, science, movies, video games, music, books, sports, fitness, cooking, pets, and image-sharing. Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Although there are strict rules prohibiting harassment, it still occurs, and Reddit administrators moderate the communities and close or restrict them on occasion. Moderation is also conducted by community-specific moderators, who are not considered Reddit employees. As of September 2021, Reddit ranks as the 19th-most-visited website in the world and 7th most-visited website in the U.S., according to Alexa Internet. About 42–49.3% of its user base comes from the United States, followed by the United Kingdom at 7.9–8.2% and Canada at 5.2–7.8%. Twenty-two percent of U.S. adults aged 18 to 29 years, and 14 percent of U.S. adults aged 30 to 49 years, regularly use Reddit. Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, with Aaron Swartz, in 2005. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications. In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto. Their investment valued the company at $500 million then. In July 2017, Reddit raised $200 million for a $1.8 billion valuation, with Advance Publications remaining the majority stakeholder. In February 2019, a $300 million funding round led by Tencent brought the company's valuation to $3 billion. In August 2021, a $700 million funding round led by Fidelity Investments raised that valuation to over $10 billion.
