Engineering Manager, Search Storage

United StatesRemote

Responsibilities

Build: Build out your team to execute on a strategy and create more efficient, more reliable Storage systems.
Collaborate: Work together with a variety of teams across Reddit Engineering.

With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 121 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information.
Search Infrastructure builds and operates the foundational components for platform teams at Reddit to build atop.
We are a team of software and machine learning engineers who build platforms around and evolve technologies including: Milvus Vespa Solr Kubernetes
As Reddit’s usage of AI and embedding models grows, conventional databases don’t fit the needs of our scale.
This is an opportunity to sit at the cutting edge of this space and help establish the future of Reddit’s search capabilities while maturing a (relatively) newer ecosystem of technologies.
Contributing to ecosystems (OSS) involving codebases including Go, Rust, C++, and Java.
Amplify: Mentor your ICs and be a leader for the team.
experience in people management of high performing engineering teams. 7+ years
experience on backend infrastructure with a focus on storage systems. 5+ years of this
experience spent in high-scale environments is key.
Experience in storage systems pertaining to full-text search and vector similarity search (ANN) is a huge plus. •
Experience with running storage systems atop orchestration/distributed systems, such as Kubernetes.
Additionally, Reddit offers a wide range of
In select roles and locations, the interviews will be recorded, transcribed and summarized by artificial intelligence (AI).

Evolve: Learn and improve your own technical and non-technical abilities. You Have: 3+ years

It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet.
Our systems satisfy needs ranging from classical ranking/search ( BM25 ) to more modern and novel spaces involving vector embeddings .
Our platform strives to balance reliability, performance, efficiency, and developer productivity, in that order.
We offer abstractions that enable our customers to express their needs and transparently map those into underlying infrastructure resources (CPU, memory, architecture, etc).
We scale the team through automation, self healing, and orchestration.
Some Of Our Present And Future Challenges Include:
Scaling search primitives, namely databases, to be secure, highly available, and geo-distributed.
Managing the full lifecycle of our systems including provisioning, scaling, self healing, and decommissioning via software engineering.
Our interfaces are APIs and our operators are code, not humans.
Running these systems with high-efficiency without sacrificing reliability. What You’ll Do
