The Ads Measurement Org is dedicated to enhancing the efficiency and intelligence of Reddit’s advertising platform. We specialize in privacy-enhancing technologies, probabilistic user matching, and modeled conversions to enable measurement and delivery in a privacy-conscious world.
We’re looking for a hands-on Staff Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in probabilistic modeling and user matching who can lead end-to-end Ads initiatives across engineering and cross-functional teams. You will drive architectural decisions, mentor your peers, and dive into complex technical challenges directly when needed. Our diverse group of engineers, product managers, data scientists, and ads specialists is excited to welcome you on board!
Minimum Qualifications:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3+ years focused on ML-driven systems at scale
- Demonstrated experience architecting and building identity resolution, device graphs, or similar identity matching solutions leveraging probabilistic techniques
- Strong knowledge of various identifiers (cookies, hashed emails, phone numbers, IP addresses, user agents) and their use in identity resolution
- Proficiency in machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and libraries for feature engineering, model training, and inference
- Solid understanding of large-scale data processing, distributed computing, and data infrastructure (e.g., Spark, Kafka, Beam, Flink)
- Proven technical leadership in cross-functional settings, driving architectural decisions and influencing stakeholders (product, data science, privacy, legal)
- Excellent communication, mentoring, and collaboration skills to align teams on a long-term vision for identity resolution
Responsibilities:
- Lead the technical strategy and architecture for our company’s identity resolution system, ensuring accuracy, scalability, and compliance with privacy requirements
- Develop and refine ML models for probabilistic user matching using multiple identifiers (cookies, IP addresses, hashed emails, phone numbers, user agents)
- Oversee end-to-end ML workflows—from data ingestion and feature engineering to model training, evaluation, and deployment—optimizing for performance and cost
- Partner with cross-functional teams (e.g., product management, data science, platform engineering, privacy, legal) to define the roadmap and set long-term goals
- Establish engineering best practices, code quality standards, and data governance guidelines to ensure maintainability and trustworthiness of the identity resolution system
- Mentor and coach junior engineers, fostering a culture of innovation, technical excellence, and knowledge sharing across the organization
