Job Description

About the Team

The LS Embedding team focuses on developing highly expressive, multi-entity embeddings to enhance Reddit’s recommendation systems. We go beyond standard two-tower architectures, leveraging graph-based modeling, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), and transformer-based architectures to capture complex interactions between users and entities. Our work directly impacts personalization and relevance across Reddit’s platform.

 

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to design, develop, and optimize graph-based ML models for large-scale recommendation systems. You will work on embedding generation, distributed training, and scalable serving architectures, playing a key role in improving Reddit’s AI-powered personalization. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge ML research and apply it at scale in a high-impact production environment.

 

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement scalable, high-performance machine learning models using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), transformers, and knowledge graph approaches.

  • Develop and optimize large-scale embedding generation pipelines for Reddit’s recommendation systems.

  • Collaborate with ML infrastructure teams to enable efficient distributed training (multi-GPU, model/data parallelism) and low-latency serving.

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams (Ads, Feed Ranking, Content Understanding) to integrate embeddings into various personalization and ranking systems.

  • Drive feature engineering efforts, identifying and curating expressive raw data to enhance model effectiveness.

  • Monitor, evaluate, and improve model performance using A/B testing, offline metrics, and real-time feedback loops.

  • Stay up-to-date with the latest research in GNNs, transformers, and representation learning, bringing new ideas into production.

  • Participate in code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical decision-making.

 

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, with a strong focus on recommendation systems, representation learning, and deep learning.

  • Hands-on experience with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), collaborative filtering, and large-scale embeddings.

  • Proficiency in Python and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch Geometric (PyG), Deep Graph Library (DGL), TensorFlow, or JAX.

  • Strong understanding of graph theory, network science, and representation learning techniques.

  • Experience building distributed training and inference systems using ML infrastructure components (data parallelism, model pruning, inference optimization, etc.).

  • Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, balancing innovation with high-quality production deployment.

  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate cross-functionally with engineers, researchers, and product teams.

 

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive Healthcare Benefits and Income Replacement Programs

  • 401k Match

  • Family Planning Support

  • Gender-Affirming Care

  • Mental Health & Coaching Benefits

  • Flexible Vacation & Reddit Global Days off

  • Generous paid Parental Leave

  • Paid Volunteer time off
