- Excellent communication skills that you employ to drive alignment, to navigate tradeoffs, to influence decisions and priorities, and to empower others
- A high degree of empathy, curiosity, and humility, with a passion for improving both developer experience and Reddit’s reliability
- A strong sense of ownership. You take initiative, lead projects end-to-end, and go beyond your immediate scope to ensure successful outcomes and drive impact across the platform
