Reddit is hiring a Staff Product Security Engineer to make the secure path the easiest path for engineers and AI agents. 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. 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.
What You'll Do
- Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.
- 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.
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.
- Proficiency in one or more languages (Go, Python, JS/TS).
- 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.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate security into developer workflows: CI/CD, code review, release processes, and internal platforms.
- Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.
- Comfortable in fast-moving environments where AI-assisted development is reshaping how software is b
