Location: US remote-friendly

Reddit has a flexible first workforce. At Reddit we continue to grow our teams with the best talent. We're completely remote friendly and will continue to be.

Advertising is Reddit’s primary revenue driver and we have an ambitious goal to turn it into a massive business. Although several large digital ad platforms already exist, advertisers are being increasingly drawn to Reddit because of our passionate communities. We believe our community-centric platform has created the opportunity for Reddit to build a highly differentiated ads business.

About the Ads Data Science Team:

The Ads Data Science team at Reddit leverages data to maximize advertiser value on Reddit through robust data foundations, metrics, and strategic insights generated through experimentation and cutting-edge DS methods.

We work on a wide range of challenging problems in the areas of ads and platform measurement, campaign and creative management, advertiser growth and retention, monetization, and the intersection of brand and community engagement. We are a highly collaborative team of passionate data scientists and engineers who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible with machine learning and statistical modeling.

About the Role:

Reddit’s Ads Data Science team is looking for a highly experienced Staff Data Scientist to advance the intelligence powering the advertiser experience on Reddit. In this role, you'll take deep ownership of a high-impact problem space within advertising, specializing in measurement, identity, and signal quality.

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you'll influence strategic direction, set a high technical bar, and drive cross-functional initiatives across one or more critical focus areas in the Ads organization.

Responsibilities:

Design the Future of Ads Identity: Develop/employ probabilistic models for identity resolution. Design the methodology that links on-platform and off-platform actions to maximize addressability while honoring privacy.

Advance Lift Methodologies & Experimentation: Own the statistical rigor behind Reddit’s Brand and Conversion Lift products. Innovate experimental design and develop infrastructure that supports large-scale, high-velocity, low-bias testing for advertisers.

Maximize Signal for Predictive Performance: Define the strategy for new signal sources. You will mathematically quantify the value of these signals and work with modeling teams to incorporate them into predictive models, directly improving bidding efficiency and ROAS.

Define Ground Truth & Evaluation Frameworks: Solve the industry-wide challenge of validating identity and measurement. Design the objective functions and truth sets used to train our models and measure the incremental impact of our identity graph.

Lead Through Cross-Functional and Technical Influence: Collaborate deeply with engineering, product, and sales to align on strategic goals, translate insights into action, and drive execution. Set a high technical bar by mentoring others and championing best practices across modeling, experimentation, and measurement.
