Reddit is poised to rapidly innovate and grow like no other time in its history. This is a unique opportunity to leave your mark
on one of the most influential and trafficked corners of the internet.
Consumer data science plays a key role in fulfilling Reddit’s mission of bringing community & belonging to the world through deep
understanding of how we can better connect people to the best information and communities for them - the heart of Reddit’s product
- from crypto to support groups, gaming to AMAs, travel tips to memes.
Reddit's experimentation landscape presents uniquely challenging problems. Our platform is a deeply interconnected network of
communities, contributors, and consumers – meaning that standard A/B testing assumptions often break down. We need a senior
technical leader who thrives on these hard problems and can raise the bar for causal inference and experimentation rigor across
the entire Consumer organization.
As a Senior Staff Data Scientist on the Consumer team, you will be the go-to expert on experimentation methodology, owning the
most complex and high-stakes experimentation challenges across Consumer. You will shape how Reddit learns from its experiments,
ensure we draw valid causal conclusions in the presence of network effects and interference, and influence product strategy
through rigorous experimental design and analysis.
Responsibilities:
* Serve as the technical authority on experimentation methodology across Consumer, setting standards for design, analysis, and
interpretation of experiments in a complex, networked environment
* Tackle the hardest experimentation problems at Reddit, including spillover and network effects, interference between treatment
and control, two-sided experimentation, and long-run effect estimation
* Develop and advance methods for causal inference in settings where standard randomization assumptions are violated, such as
cluster-randomized designs, switchback experiments, and synthetic control approaches
* Design experimentation frameworks and guardrail metrics that account for ecosystem-level effects, ensuring product teams can
measure true causal impact rather than biased local estimates
* Identify opportunities where improved experimentation methodology can unlock product insights that were previously unmeasurable
or ambiguous
* Build and scale self-serve experimentation tools, platforms, and best-practice documentation that increase experimentation
velocity and literacy across product, engineering, and design teams
* Influence the long-term product strategy by driving learning through well-designed experiments and translating experimental
results into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership
* Mentor and elevate other data scientists across the organization on experimentation best practices, causal reasoning, and
statistical rigor
* Publish and share methodological advances internally and, where appropriate, externally to contribute to the broader
experimentation and causal inference community
Required Qualifications:
* Ph.D. in Statistics, Econometrics, Economics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field with a strong focus on causal
inference or experimentation methodology; or M.S. with equivalent depth of expertise
* For M.S. holders: 12+ years of industry experience in applied science, data science, or experimentation-focused roles
* For Ph.D. holders: 8+ years of industry experience in applied science, data science, or experimentation-focused roles
* Deep expertise in causal inference, including practical experience with challenges such as network interference / spillovers,
two-sided experimentation, switchback designs, cluster randomization, and/or synthetic control methods
* Strong theoretical grounding in experimental design, including power analysis, variance reduction techniques, sequential
testing, and multiple comparison corrections
* Experience with experimentation platforms at scale (e.g., building or significantly extending an internal experimentation
platform)
* Expert knowledge of SQL and proficiency in R and/or Python for statistical computing
* Track record of designing and analyzing experiments at scale in complex or networked environments
* Demonstrated ability to influence product and organizational strategy through experimentation insights
* Demonstrated ability to take ambiguous, technically complex problems and solve them in a structured, hypothesis-driven way
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain nuanced statistical concepts and tradeoffs to both technical and
non-technical senior stakeholders
* Experience mentoring data scientists and building organizational capability in experimentation and causal reasoning
* Comfortable in innovative and fast-paced environments with a bias toward action
Preferred Qualifications:
* Published research or industry contributions in areas such as interference in experiments, network experimentation, or
marketplace causal inference
* Familiarity with Bayesian experimental methods, bandit algorithms, or adaptive experimental designs
* Experience with social network or user-generated content platforms where community-level dynamics create non-trivial
experimentation challenges
Benefits:
* Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs
* 401k with Employer Match
* Global Benefit programs that fit your lifestyle, from workspace to professional development to caregiving support
* Family Planning Support
* Gender-Affirming Care
* Mental Health & Coaching Benefits
* Flexible Vacation & Paid Volunteer Time Off
* Generous Paid Parental Leave
