Job Summary
The Role
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Growth team where youll help millions of creators and businesses get more out of Linktree. Growth spans the full journey from how people discover Linktree through activation engagement retention and monetization and our team works across all of it rather than any single stage.
As a growth engineer youll build and iterate on the experiments product surfaces and systems that drive user activation engagement and retention. Youll work closely with product design and data partners to identify high-leverage opportunities ship experiments quickly and translate learnings into durable product improvements. This is a hands-on IC role for an engineer who enjoys working close to the metrics and iterating quickly in a fast-moving environment.
What Youll Own
- Build and ship experiments that improve activation engagement and retention for new and existing users from initial hypothesis through measurement and iteration.
- Partner with product design and data science to identify high-leverage growth opportunities across the funnel and translate them into a prioritized technical roadmap.
- Work across the growth stack these experiences run on including onboarding flows in-product promotions and re-engagement campaigns.
- Design build and integrate the systems services and APIs behind this work including internal and third-party integrations and the cloud infrastructure they run on.
- Instrument and analyze product usage data to surface insights that inform both your own work and the broader teams strategy.
- Bring AI into how you build and where it helps into the product experience itself.
- Improve the reliability scalability and observability of the systems that power growth experiments.
- Mentor peers on experimentation best practices and contribute to a strong engineering culture on the team.
Who Were Looking For
- 5 years of professional software engineering experience ideally including time spent on growth activation or lifecycle-focused teams.
- Strong product sense and experience running or contributing to A/B tests and product experiments with comfort interpreting data to make decisions.
- Solid full-stack engineering skills across our core stack (TypeScript React PostgreSQL or MySQL GraphQL AWS) with the ability to move quickly across the systems needed to ship and measure an experiment end-to-end. Full-stack is preferred; we are also glad to talk to strong front-end-leaning engineers who want to grow across the stack.
- Experience designing and integrating services and APIs including internal and third-party integrations within cloud-based service-oriented architectures.
- Comfortable with data: SQL data modeling and working with data warehouses (e.g. Snowflake BigQuery) to inform decisions.
- Fluency with AI-assisted development (e.g. Claude Cursor Codex Devin) including how to prompt iterate validate and refine what these tools produce plus interest in applying AI within the product experience.
- Excellent collaborator who communicates clearly with product design and data partners and can influence direction through evidence and technical judgment.
Linktree is committed to providing a fair and competitive compensation package including cash equity and benefits. The base salary offered for this role is targeted at $190000-$215000 for roles based in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Final offers depend on multiple factors including location experience expertise and role scope and may vary from the range listed.
