Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With ,+ active communities and approximately M+ daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit .

We’re evolving and continuing our mission to bring community, belonging, and empowerment to everyone in the world. Providing a delightful and relevant experience to our users applies to our Ads like all of our offerings, and we’re excited to build a product that is best-in-class for our users and advertisers. The year ahead is a busy one - join us! 

The App Ads Team is entrusted with the development and maintenance of a diverse set of Machine Learning models that are responsible for predictions regarding user conversions after engaging with Reddit. The creation and enhancement of these models plays a crucial role in our organization's efforts to optimize advertising effectiveness and drive business growth. We are looking for a motivated engineer that will help us advance our vision. As a diverse group of software engineers, product managers, data scientists, and ads experts, we are excited for you to join our team!

Your Responsibilities:

Develop advanced and scalable deep learning models using cutting-edge techniques for critical machine learning tasks within the app conversions modeling domain. Design and implement innovative strategies for signal loss mitigation, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of predictions in the presence of incomplete or noisy data. Research, implement, test, and launch new model architectures including deep neural networks with advanced pooling and feature interaction architectures. Systematic feature engineering works to convert all kinds of raw data in Reddit (dense & sparse, behavior & content, etc) into features with various FE technologies such as aggregation, embedding, sub models, etc. Be a mentor and cross-functional advocate for the team. Contribute meaningfully to team strategy. We give everyone a seat at the table and encourage active participation in planning for the future!

Who You Might Be:

+ years of experience with industry-level deep learning models. + years of experience with mainstream ML frameworks (such as Tensorflow and Pytorch). + years of end-to-end experience of training, evaluating, testing, and deploying industry-level models. + years of experience of orchestrating complicated data generation pipelines on large-scale datasets. Experience with ads domain and conversion modeling is a plus. Experience with recommendation systems is a plus.

Benefits:

Pension Scheme Private Medical and Dental Scheme Life Assurance, Income Protection Workspace benefit for your home office  Personal & Professional development funds Family Planning Support  Commuter Benefits Flexible Vacation & Reddit Global Days Off

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
