 * Excellent product and interaction judgment, with the ability to turn complex ideas into intuitive, high-quality experiences.

## Description

This is a strategic, hands-on role at the intersection of design and engineering. You'll work across Reddit Ads to shape product direction and build the tools, systems, and ways of working that make it easier to move from an idea to a high-quality product.

You'll partner closely with Design, Research, Product, Engineering, and Data Science while staying deeply involved in the craft.

What you'll do

 * Define and lead the UX engineering strategy across multiple areas of Reddit Ads.
 * Build high-quality, functional prototypes and product experiences that help teams explore ideas, test assumptions, and make better decisions.
 * Partner with senior cross-functional leaders to shape product direction and bring clarity to complex, ambiguous opportunities.
 * Create reusable tools, systems, components, and workflows that make it easier to move from design and research into production.
 * Raise the bar for interaction quality, accessibility, performance, and technical craft across the Ads experience.
 * Explore how AI can improve both our advertiser products and the way our teams design and build them.
 * Mentor other practitioners and help grow UX Engineering as a capability across Reddit.
