## Description

Reddit is hiring a Staff Product Security Engineer to make the secure path the easiest path for engineers and AI agents. You'll lead the design and delivery of secure frameworks, paved paths, and workflow-native controls that eliminate recurring vulnerability classes before they reach production.

## Responsibilities

- Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.

- Design security controls for AI-assisted development , including reusable rule packs and skills that shape how engineers and coding agents generate, review, and ship code.

- Embed security into the workflows engineers already use.

- Drive product security reviews for new launches and major architectural changes.

- Identify and eliminate systemic security debt.

- Shape strategy, influence architecture, and drive execution across teams.

## Requirements

- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, product security, or application security, with at least 2 years operating at a staff level of scope and impact.

- Proficiency in one or more languages (Go, Python, JS/TS).

- Experience designing, building, and operating production-quality systems and developer-facing platforms.

- Experience building secure frameworks, libraries, or guardrails that improve security across many teams at once.

- Demonstrated ability to integrate security into developer workflows: CI/CD, code review, release processes, and internal platforms.

- Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.

- Comfortable in fast-moving environments where AI-assisted development is reshaping how software is built and reviewed.

- Experience with vulnerability discovery and remediation pipelines, including bug bounty or researcher-reported findings.

- Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a security or platform engineering org.

## Benefits

- Base salary range: $217,000-$303,900 USD

- Equity in the form of restricted stock units
