ABOUT THE ROLE
Reddit is hiring a Staff Product Security Engineer to make the secure path the easiest path for engineers and AI agents. You'll lead the design and delivery of secure frameworks, paved paths, and workflow-native controls that eliminate recurring vulnerability classes before they reach production. As AI-assisted development accelerates code velocity faster than manual review can absorb, this role exists to close that gap structurally — through guardrails, automation, and platform-level prevention that scale with the engineering org.
- Build and evolve secure frameworks, guardrails, and library-level controls that make common vulnerability classes harder to introduce.
- Design security controls for AI-assisted development — including reusable rule packs and skills that shape how engineers and coding agents generate, review, and ship code.
- Embed security into the workflows engineers already use.
- Drive product security reviews for new launches and major architectural changes.
- Identify and eliminate systemic security debt.
- Shape strategy, influence architecture, and drive execution across teams.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, product security, or application security, with at least 2 years operating at a staff level of scope and impact.
- Proficiency in one or more languages (Go, Python, JS/TS).
- Experience designing, building, and operating production-quality systems and developer-facing platforms.
- Experience building secure frameworks, libraries, or guardrails that improve security across many teams at once.
- Demonstrated ability to integrate security into developer workflows: CI/CD, code review, release processes, and internal platforms.
- Clear communicator who can explain technical detail and business impact to both engineers and leadership.
- Comfortable in fast-moving environments where AI-assisted development is reshaping how software is built and reviewed.
- Experience with vulnerability discovery and remediation pipelines, including bug bounty or researcher-reported findings.
- Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across a security or platform engineering org.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience securing AI/LLM systems, agentic workflows, or AI-assisted development tooling.
- Familiarity with authentication/authorization systems, cloud-native platforms, and how to secure them.
COMPENSATION
- The base salary range for this position is: $217,000—$303,900 USD
This job posting may span more than one career level. In addition to base salary, this job is eligible to receive equity in the form of restricted stock units, and depending on the position offered, it may also be eligible to receive a commission. Additionally, Reddit offers a wide range of benefits to U.S.-based employees, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) program with employer match, generous time off for vacation, and parental leave.
To provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base salary ranges for all US-based job postings regardless of state. We set standard base pay ranges for all roles based on function, level, and country location, benchmarked against similar stage growth companies. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including, skills, depth of work experience and relevant licenses/credentials, and may vary from the amounts listed below.
In select roles and locations, the interviews will be recorded, transcribed and summarized by artificial intelligence (AI). You will have the opportunity to opt out of recording, transcription and summarization prior to any scheduled interviews.
During the interview, we will collect the following categories of personal information: Identifiers, Professional and Employment-Related Information, Sensory Information (audio/video recording), and any other categories of personal information you choose to share with us. We will use this information to evaluate your application for employment or an independent contractor role, as applicable. We will not sell your personal information or disclose it to any third party for their marketing purposes. We will delete any recording of your interview promptly after making a hiring decision.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Product Security Engineer
Align your degree to SOC codes
Product Security Engineer roles map to multiple SOC codes depending on the employer's LCA filing. Check O*NET to confirm your degree field aligns with the specialty occupation definition USCIS uses, so you can address any credential mismatch before interviews begin.
Target cap-exempt employers early
Universities, nonprofit research institutions, and government-affiliated entities are exempt from the H-1B cap. Product security roles exist at these organizations, and a cap-exempt petition can be filed at any time of year, bypassing the April lottery entirely.
Search verified H-1B sponsors on Migrate Mate
Filter by employers with confirmed H-1B LCA filings for security engineering roles on Migrate Mate. This shows you which companies have an active sponsorship track record, so you're not discovering a company's reluctance to file after the offer stage.
Request prevailing wage documentation upfront
Ask your prospective employer which wage level they intend to certify on your LCA. Use the OFLC Wage Search to verify the prevailing wage for your location and SOC code before accepting an offer, since the certified wage binds the employer for the petition's duration.
Document security certifications for RFE defense
USCIS sometimes issues Requests for Evidence on specialty occupation grounds for security roles with broad job descriptions. Gather official transcripts, CISSP or CEH certificates, and a detailed duties letter from your employer before the I-129 is filed to preempt this.
Plan your timeline around the 60-day grace period
If you're between H-1B employers, you have a 60-day grace period after your last day to secure a new approved petition or change status. Identify your next employer and initiate the transfer before your final paycheck, not after, to stay within this window.

Find Product Security Engineer JobsProduct Security Engineer H-1B Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Product Security Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes. Product security engineering requires theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge, typically in computer science, information security, or software engineering, which satisfies USCIS's specialty occupation definition. Your employer's job description must specify that a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field is a minimum requirement, not merely preferred.
Which industries hire Product Security Engineers on H-1B sponsorship most consistently?
Technology companies, financial services firms, healthcare technology platforms, defense contractors, and cloud infrastructure providers file H-1B petitions for product security roles regularly. Cap-exempt employers, including research universities and nonprofit think tanks with cybersecurity programs, are also active. You can filter by employer type and LCA filing history on Migrate Mate to identify consistent sponsors.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new Product Security Engineer employer without losing my status?
Yes, through H-1B portability under AC21. Once your I-129 petition has been pending for 180 days or more and your new employer files a transfer petition, you can begin working for the new employer immediately upon filing. You don't need to wait for approval, but you must be maintaining valid H-1B status at the time of transfer.
How does the H-1B lottery affect my job search timeline for Product Security Engineer roles?
USCIS accepts H-1B cap-subject registrations in March each year for an October 1 start date. If you're on OPT or another status, you need a job offer before your employer can register you. Missing the March window means waiting a full year for the next cycle, so targeting employers early in the calendar year is practical for cap-subject candidates.
What should I check before accepting an offer from an H-1B sponsor for this role?
Verify the employer has filed LCA petitions for roles at your experience level, not just entry-level positions. Confirm they'll cover the H-1B filing fees required by law, including the I-129 and ACWIA training fees, which they cannot legally pass to you. Check that the offered salary meets or exceeds the prevailing wage for your SOC code and location using the OFLC Wage Search.
