As a Staff Software Engineer within our SPACE org (Security, Privacy, Assurance, and Corporate Engineering), you will play a critical role on the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team.

In this role, you will design, deliver, and support the lifecycle of digital identities, authentication, and access across Reddit. You will partner closely with cross-functional teams to build creative, scalable solutions that align with business priorities and strict regulatory standards. We operate in a dynamic, ambiguous problem space—meaning you’ll work across multiple domains and technology stacks to keep Reddit secure.

Some of our present and future challenges include:

• Modernizing our identity infrastructure by replacing legacy systems with a tailored governance platform.
• Provide self-service identity management lifecycle and natural language explanation of existing systems in order to improve employee experience with security systems.
• Integrate Reddit’s corporate identity stack across a variety of protocols like SCIM and SAML, and across a variety of use cases (MCP and Agentic, resource automation that includes identity requirements) and increase Reddit’s maturity with “just-in-time” access and advanced identity constructs.
