Reddit is a community of communities. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 130 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information.

Reddit’s Ads Data Science team is looking for a Senior Staff Data Scientist to lead the scientific strategy behind Reddit’s ads measurement and signal systems. This role sits at the center of how Reddit proves advertiser value, improves signal quality, builds privacy-aware measurement systems, and connects ads exposure to real advertiser outcomes. As a Senior Staff Data Scientist for Ads Measurement, you will be the principal architect of our technical vision and the driving force behind the next generation of our measurement ecosystem.

In a landscape rapidly shifting due to privacy regulations, browser changes, and evolving platform dynamics, you will spearhead innovation across experimental design (incrementality/lift), identity, signals, and privacy-protected 1P/3P measurement.

Technical Vision & Strategy: Define the long-term data science vision & strategy across ads measurement, signal quality, identity, attribution, and privacy. Establish how Reddit should evaluate advertiser value, measurement quality, and signal utility across first-party and third-party products. Set the Cross-Pillar Measurement Science Strategy: Define the long-term data science strategy across ads measurement,



signal quality, identity, attribution, and privacy.

Establish how Reddit should evaluate advertiser value, measurement quality, and signal utility across first-party and third-party products.

Build Trusted Measurement and Evaluation Frameworks: Create rigorous frameworks for validating lift, attribution, identity quality, modeled conversions, signal loss recovery, and privacy-aware measurement. Define ground truth, objective functions, quality metrics, guardrails, and decision frameworks that guide product and engineering investments.

Advance

Experimentation and Causal Inference at Scale: Lead the evolution of Reddit’s experimentation and lift methodologies across Brand Lift, Conversion Lift, Split Testing, and emerging measurement products. Improve study quality, reduce bias and contamination, and develop scalable diagnostics for experiment health, feasibility, and interpretability. Partner with Ads Engineering to operationalize complex causal models, ensuring that scientific methodologies are not only accurate but also performant, scalable, and resilient in high-throughput production environments.

Quantify how signal quality, match rates, identity resolution, modeled conversions, and privacy changes affect bidding efficiency, CPA, ROAS, and advertiser outcomes. Partner with modeling and ranking teams to translate measurement improvements into performance gains.
