Reddit is looking for an experienced Technical Program Manager to support and develop our Machine Learning Infrastructure programs. This person will be involved in building out scalable ML platforms that will support the vision and mission of enabling users to find community and belonging effortlessly by evolving the foundation to make our products "intelligent" while "human”. They will partner with infrastructure and engineering teams to define problem statements, scope programs with success metrics, create roadmaps, and drive them to completion. 

You will help plan and execute with a deep understanding of the processes, policies, and trade-offs that an opinionated tech stack will require. You will collaborate with leaders and TPMs across the company to build the processes necessary to streamline execution and ensure alignment to our long term strategy.

Key Focus areas and Responsibilities:

High quality technical program management is a distinct and high value skillset, and while the roles generally don’t involve direct management, they are a part of the organizational leadership. In this role, you will… 

• Get Things Done. More than just displaying activity, counting sprint points, or delivering regular updates.  You actually bring projects to completion and deliver real accomplishments for the business, and help your teams understand the difference. 
• Dive into Details. You understand the details of their projects and help guide them with and in active partnership with their teams.  You don’t just stay in the stratosphere or in an abstract process. You have the technical judgment to act as a partner with your teams in planning and decision making.
• Make Work Repeatable. You create and improve processes that smooth the path for others and prevent and remove recurring organizational toil (and the lower quality bar that often allows).  You reuse processes developed elsewhere, and aid in adoption of standards where relevant.
• Mentor & Lead. You are good at, and enjoy, informally aiding others in developing key organizational and project skills.  You’re a leader within your projects and support people in the process. 
• Bring Order out of Chaos. You are known for leaving a program and the teams you support in a position of stronger organization than where they started, and those teams continue to succeed even when you are no longer specifically engaged in the project. 

What We Can Expect From You:

• 5+ years of collective experience in engineering and program management roles focused on building scalable platforms
• Previous experience or strong interest in machine learning (building models, deploying them, setting up cloud infrastructure) and familiarity with ML frameworks
• Strong communication and influencing skills through use of emotional intelligence, listening, and empathy for team and cross function partners
• A team player mentality with the ability to work collaboratively across all levels of the organization
• Proactive and curious by nature. You are creative and enjoy taking unique approaches to solve problems
• Driven by the prospect of tackling a vague issue and navigating it through research, defining its scope, planning, and execution independently or with minimal direction.
• Pragmatic; you take an iterative approach to developing processes and systems
• Technical depth and judgment
