Senior Staff Applied Scientist, Science Platform

Reddit brings people together around their interests, questions, and experiences. Our communities generate a rich and complex ecosystem of human activity, creating scientific challenges in understanding behavior, measuring impact, and anticipating change.

The Data Science Platform team builds the tools that enable a scientific understanding of Reddit. We develop Reddit’s analytics agent, and the shared scientific capabilities and methods that allow data scientists and business partners to answer increasingly sophisticated questions.

We are looking for a senior technical lead who combines deep expertise in statistics, machine learning and causal inference with strong software engineering ability. You will establish the scientific direction for agentic analytics, causal inference, and forecasting, turning advances in research into reliable software used across the company.

As an Applied Scientist on the Science Platform team, you will work across the full development cycle: identifying important problems, evaluating research, implementing and validating methods, and shipping capabilities that others can use confidently. You will partner closely with software engineers and data scientists to build an analytics agent that can investigate questions, select appropriate methods, execute analyses, and communicate findings with clear assumptions and uncertainty.
