Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. We're completely remote friendly and will continue to be after the pandemic.

Reddit is the world’s largest network of communities. It’s a place where millions of people go to find a sense of belonging. Redditors directly create, manage, and grow all of the content & communities that comprise the Reddit experience. From r/askreddit to r/politics, or r/memes to r/parenting; these passionate communities and their moderators are what make Reddit tick.

The Moderators Experience team is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead our Data Science efforts on better serving our Moderators.
