The mission of the Developer Experience org is to design, develop, and support tools and processes that make common developer workflows efficient and reliable. This role is specific to the Code Infrastructure team, which owns source control, code review, code search, build infrastructure, continuous integration, and a subset of related internal developer tools. Some of our present and future challenges include: Scaling Reddit’s build infrastructure, code review experience, self-hosted code storage infrastructure, and other tools to serve a growing Reddit Engineering organization. Instrumenting the next evolution of Reddit’s build and continuous integration tooling. Building an integrated SDLC platform to reduce the length of feedback cycles. Making writing, linting, reviewing, testing, and shipping code easy. Improving the code review experience for every developer at Reddit. Building a solid understanding of customer’s needs, identifying opportunities to improve developer efficiency, confidence, and service reliability, and executing on those opportunities. Integrating novel technologies (e.g. Generative AI) to solve problems for our developers with flexibility to adapt to a rapidly changing technological landscape. In this senior engineer role, you will be directly responsible for shaping the developer experience, from initial code creation to the final built artifact. You’ll draw on your technical expertise and skills to ensure our developer tooling is smooth, easy to use, and provides maximum value to an ever growing engineering organization. You’ll look for ways to engage with the engineering org, strive to understand users' pain points and perspectives, and incorporate their feedback into designs and plans.
