Reddit is a complex consumer ecosystem where users, content, communities, and conversations interact over time. We are looking for a very senior data science thought leader to shape how Reddit understands and improves that ecosystem for the user / consumer flywheel.

This role will define the measurement, modeling, and experimentation strategy for major Consumer questions: how users discover value, form habits, and deepen engagement; how we understand and serve user intent; how content and communities evolve; and how our systems create durable value for users, contributors, communities, and Reddit.

The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in one or more areas of consumer science, such as:

• Recommender systems and information retrieval

• User modeling, personalization, lifecycle, LTV, or optimization

• Content, community, or ecosystem modeling

• Knowledge graphs and representations of users, content, and communities

• Causal inference, experimentation, and long-term consumer measurement
