  • Lead security initiatives and “be the face of Security” across the organization for infrastructure and cloud security, hardening our infrastructure against attack.
  • Build eminence both for yourself and Reddit about innovative security approaches and Reddit’s security program, via talks, publications, and/or open source contributions.

What We Can Expect From You:
