Team description: Ads Marketplace Shopping

The Reddit Ads team is poised to rapidly innovate and grow like no other time in its history. This is a unique opportunity to join a high performing team that will shape how we monetize the Reddit platform and to help connect Redditors with brands they love. 

Reddit is building an advertising solution for retailers to easily advertise the merchandise in their product catalogs. We plan to ingest the catalogs and automatically run ad campaigns for the available products. It is a high scale machine learning problem where we need to process millions of products and show the right product for the right user at the right time.
