The Data Infrastructure team is looking to hire a Software Engineer who is excited to solve large scale batch and streaming data challenges.

Reddit’s mission is to bring community and belonging to everyone in the world. Reddit is a community of communities where people can dive into anything through experiences built around their interests, hobbies, and passions.
