Principal Product Designer, Presence
Role summary
Reddit is seeking a Principal Product Designer to lead systems-level design for its Presence domain, focusing on how users, creators, and businesses interact across the platform. This remote role requires defining the UX architecture for identity, profiles, business tools, discovery, and participation, creating durable frameworks and patterns for multiple teams. The ideal candidate will have 10-12+ years of experience in product design, with a strong portfolio showcasing principal-level scope, systems architecture, executive influence, and measurable impact. Responsibilities include translating company priorities into multi-year strategies, resolving cross-team conflicts, influencing product direction, and mentoring senior designers, with fluency in AI-assisted design tools.
Reddit is continuing to grow our teams with the best talent. This role is completely remote friendly within the United States. If you happen to live close to one of our physical office locations (San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Chicago) our doors are open for you to come into the office as often as you'd like.
Presence shapes how people, creators, businesses, and communities show up, are understood, discover each other, and participate across Reddit. As Reddit continues to evolve across profiles, identity, business tools, discovery, and new consumer experiences, we need a Principal Product Designer to make these surfaces feel connected, navigable, trustworthy, and distinctly Reddit.
This is a systems-level design role, not ownership of a single feature or vertical. You’ll define how identity, profiles, business presence, community context, discovery, navigation, and participation work together across Reddit, creating the models and patterns that help Reddit evolve as one ecosystem while enabling individual teams to move quickly.
You’ll work across Design, Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, Content Design, and executive leadership to turn ambiguity into clear product direction, durable frameworks, and executable paths forward.
