Reddit Careers

Reddit is a social media and online community platform founded in 2005 by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, with early contributions from Aaron Swartz. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company operates a network of user-created communities known as "subreddits," where millions of users share news, discussions, images, and links on virtually every topic imaginable. Reddit’s mission is to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world by enabling people to connect through shared interests and open conversation.

The platform hosts tens of millions of daily active users and thousands of active communities, making it one of the largest discussion hubs on the internet. Reddit generates revenue primarily through digital advertising, premium subscriptions (Reddit Premium), and emerging data licensing partnerships that provide structured access to its vast corpus of user-generated discussions. The company employs more than a thousand people globally and has become a major cultural influence in online discourse, frequently shaping internet trends, news cycles, and grassroots movements.

In recent years, Reddit has expanded its advertising tools, moderation technology, and developer ecosystem while strengthening its role in the AI era by licensing data to major technology firms. In 2024, Reddit went public on the New York Stock Exchange, marking a significant milestone and reinforcing its position as one of the world’s most prominent community-driven social platforms.
