Stand up the foundations of a Reddit Merchant Center.</li> <li><strong>Ship the next phase of catalog innovation.</strong> Drive LLM-based catalog enrichment (fill missing attributes, improve descriptions, derive gender/age/category), catalog-driven ad overlays ("Popular with Redditors", "Top Pick", price/promo), and Catalog Insights that show advertisers how their products perform organically and paid on Reddit.

You communicate effectively with executives and earn trust with senior engineers.</li> <li><strong>Bias to action.</strong> Comfortable making decisions with imperfect information, making reasonable risk/reward tradeoffs, and recovering fast when wrong.</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Nice to Have:</strong></h4> <ul> <li>ML fluency. You've shipped ML-powered products in ads, content personalization, retrieval, ranking, or content understanding. You can reason about retrieval, candidate selection, ranking signals, and the tradeoffs between LLM-derived features and traditional features.
