We are looking for a Principal Technical Program Manager, Developer Productivity to lead company-wide programs for AI-assisted engineering workflows. This role will partner with engineering leaders in infrastructure, developer productivity, security, product engineering, ads, machine learning, and senior technical leadership to make AI-native development safe, measurable, scalable, and effective across Reddit.
Reddit is entering a new era of software development. AI and agentic workflows are changing how code is planned, written, reviewed, tested, and shipped. Used well, these tools can help engineers move faster with higher confidence. Used poorly, they can increase complexity, review burden, operational risk, and cost. This role will help Reddit build the path for agentic development: flexible enough for teams to experiment, opinionated enough to protect quality, and measurable enough to prove whether AI is increasing delivered value rather than just activity.
Just as importantly, this role will help bring teams along for that change, building trust in new workflows and helping Reddit evolve how we build software together.
At Reddit, Technical Program Managers use technical judgment to define and drive large programs across multiple teams. They partner closely with engineering and product leaders to develop strategies and solutions, drive project impact, execute on planning, and gain alignment with cross-functional stakeholders. They engage with teams to determine root causes, identify and select alternative solutions, and use their technical expertise to understand the effects, impacts, and risks of a solution. Above and beyond program-level impact, they build execution processes and reduce inefficiencies to build overall scale.
This role reports into the TPM team within Reddit's Engineering Operations organization. As a Principal TPM, you will operate at executive and company scope, shaping strategy across multiple organizations, creating alignment where ownership is ambiguous, and setting the bar for how Reddit executes complex technical programs. High-quality technical program management is a distinct and high-value skill set, and while this role does not involve direct people management, it is part of Reddit's organizational leadership. At this level, success means delivering programs while also changing how teams think, collaborate, and make decisions so that new systems, standards, and behaviors can take root across the company.
You will own and drive programs across Reddit's Developer Productivity and AI portfolio, spanning agent infrastructure, AI-assisted code review, developer environments, LLM governance, developer tooling, AI workflow measurement, and software delivery automation. You will partner deeply with engineering teams as a technical peer, not from the stratosphere, but in the details, bringing programs to completion, balancing risk across systems and organizations, and ensuring execution stays aligned to Reddit's long-term developer productivity strategy.
In this role, you will:
