Responsibilities

Serve as the technical authority on experimentation methodology across Consumer, setting standards for design, analysis, and interpretation of experiments in a complex, networked environment

Tackle the hardest experimentation problems at Reddit, including spillover and network effects, interference between treatment and control, two-sided experimentation, and long-run effect estimation

Develop and advance methods for causal inference in settings where standard randomization assumptions are violated, such as cluster-randomized designs, switchback experiments, and synthetic control approaches

Design experimentation frameworks and guardrail metrics that account for ecosystem-level effects, ensuring product teams can measure true causal impact rather than biased local estimates
