Mr Slowe said he expected to hire a dozen engineers with a similar number of people being taken on to look after operations, which includes growing the company’s Redditgifts offering, an anonymous gift exchange programme. “We’ve a lot of interesting problems and there’s a lot of pent-up energy from people who know our brand and want to work for us. The numbers we’re looking to hire are pretty modest so I don’t expect it to be difficult for us to hit our target quickly,” he said.and Alexis Ohanian, Reddit, is often referred to as the “front page of the internet”.
