Reddit is hiring a Staff Product Security Engineer to make the secure path the easiest path for engineers and AI agents.

As AI-assisted development accelerates code velocity faster than manual review can absorb, this role exists to close that gap structurally - through guardrails, automation, and platform-level prevention that scale with the engineering org.

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.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
• What You'll Do Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.
• 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.
• Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.
• You will have the opportunity to opt out of recording, transcription and summarization prior to any scheduled interviews.
• Reddit is proud to be an equal opportunity employer, and is committed to building a workforce representative of the diverse communities we serve.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 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.
• What We're Looking For 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.
• 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.
• Experience with vulnerability discovery and remediation pipelines, including bug bounty or researcher-reported findings.
• Preferred Qualifications Experience securing AI/LLM systems, agentic workflows, or AI-assisted development tooling.
• Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including, skills, depth of work experience and relevant licenses/credentials, and may vary from the amounts listed below.

Benefits and Perks

• In addition to base salary, this job is eligible to receive equity in the form of restricted stock units, and depending on the position offered, it may also be eligible to receive a commission.
• Additionally, Reddit offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) program with employer match, generous time off for vacation, and parental leave.
