Trust & Safety Policy Manager

virtual · Dificultad 4/5

Candidates report beginning with a recruiter screen focused on policy domain experience, comfort with sensitive content areas, and reasons for wanting to work on Reddit’s community-driven platform. A hiring manager interview typically follows, emphasizing policy judgment, decision documentation, and cross-functional collaboration with Legal, Product, Engineering, and moderation-related teams. The process often includes a work-sample, such as drafting a policy update, writing an enforcement framework, or evaluating edge cases involving subreddit content, harassment, or manipulation. Final rounds commonly include multiple interviews with Trust and Safety leadership and close partners, with an emphasis on stakeholder alignment, escalation handling, and operationalizing policy into scalable guidance. Candidates commonly describe a 3 to 6 week process due to panel scheduling and the iterative nature of policy case discussions.

  • Reddit sees a spike in coordinated inauthentic behavior across multiple subreddits. How would candidates define the problem, decide what qualifies as a violation, and propose an enforcement approach that scales?
  • How would candidates draft a policy clarification for harassment or hate-related content that balances user expression with safety, and what examples would they include to reduce moderator and reviewer ambiguity?
  • Describe a time candidates disagreed with Legal, Comms, or Product on a policy direction. How did they build alignment and what trade-offs did they accept?
  • A large subreddit threatens to go private after an enforcement action. How would candidates manage the escalation, internal stakeholders, and external messaging while preserving policy consistency?
  • What principles should guide policy at a platform built around independent communities and volunteer moderators, and how would candidates keep enforcement consistent across diverse contexts?

Data Analyst (Ads Measurement)

virtual · Dificultad 3/5

Candidates report starting with a recruiter screen focused on role fit, baseline analytics skills, and interest in Reddit’s ads business, typically scheduled within a week of applying. The next step is often a hiring manager call that digs into prior analysis work, stakeholder management, and how candidates translate ambiguous questions into measurable metrics. The process frequently includes a practical analytics exercise, either as a timed SQL test or a short take-home involving ad performance data, experiment readouts, or funnel analysis. Final interviews are commonly 3 to 4 virtual sessions with a mix of analytics, cross-functional partners (Ads Product, Sales, or Measurement), and a culture and collaboration conversation. Candidates commonly report a 2 to 4 week end-to-end timeline, with additional time if interview panels coordinate across time zones.

  • Reddit Ads launches a new conversion optimization feature for a subset of advertisers. What success metrics would candidates propose, and how would they design an experiment or quasi-experiment to estimate lift?
  • Given tables for impressions, clicks, conversions, and spend, what SQL would candidates write to compute CTR, CVR, CPA, and ROAS by campaign and week, and how would they handle missing or delayed conversion data?
  • A sales partner says a campaign underperformed, but the dashboard shows stable CTR. What checks would candidates run to diagnose the issue and what narrative would they present to a non-technical stakeholder?
  • Describe a time candidates had to work with product or engineering to fix an instrumentation or logging problem. How did they prove the issue, prioritize it, and validate the fix?
  • Reddit communities can behave very differently. How would candidates account for subreddit-level heterogeneity when reporting ad performance, and what guardrails would they use to avoid misleading conclusions?
