Role overview

The Ads Business Engineering team operates at the intersection of engineering, product, sales, and business development, delivering technical expertise and solutions that empower technology partners, agencies, and advertisers to seamlessly integrate with Reddit’s advertising platform. As a Business Engineer on this team you will combine deep technical consulting with hands-on engineering to guide strategic integrations and often contribute directly to implementation across Reddit’s stack or within partners' or advertisers' codebases. You will own end-to-end technical relationships with strategic advertising partners, influence product and platform priorities, and help scale Reddit’s developer ecosystem.

Responsibilities

  • Act as a trusted technical advisor and solutions architect for strategic partners or direct advertisers, guiding them through integration and adoption of Reddit’s advertising APIs and tools.
  • Design and prototype proof-of-concept solutions that accelerate technical enablement and create tangible value for partners or advertisers. These builds may occur in Reddit’s systems or directly within the client’s or partner’s codebase.
  • Collaborate directly with engineering teams at partner or advertiser organizations to optimize performance, address integration gaps, and troubleshoot complex issues.
  • Lead onboarding, testing, and pre-launch support to ensure a smooth and successful implementation experience.
  • Represent the technical voice of the partner or advertiser internally, surfacing feedback and influencing product and platform priorities.
  • Support escalations for complex or high-impact integrations and provide clear, actionable direction to resolve blockers quickly and sustainably.

  • Proven ability to contribute directly to external integrations and prototype in partner environments.
  • Strong understanding of REST APIs, HTTP, OAuth2 / OpenID Connect, and modern SDK patterns.
  • Effective communicator with experience presenting complex technical and business ideas to both internal leadership and external stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Deep understanding of the AdTech ecosystem and how Reddit’s platform aligns with industry trends and standards.
  • Contributions to developer experience through tooling, documentation, or ecosystem standards.
  • Track record of influencing product roadmaps and participating in release, launch and product adoption activities in collaboration with sales, product, and engineering.
