We're seeking great problem-solvers who enjoy collaborating with others (not just engineers) and value well-written, tested code. As a Senior Backend Engineer at Linktree, youll work closely with various team members to achieve your goals, diving deep into how we currently work and helping us optimize it. Joining us now means you'll have a significant influence on the direction we're headed. The Role

We hire with a people-first approach. As a human, you will be collaborative, curious, enjoy solving complex problems, and have empathy for the growing pains of a rapidly scaling startup.
What Youll Own
Build products that directly help Linkers earn a living. Make technical decisions working backwards from a desired outcome and you take pride in building simple solutions to achieve that goal. Work in cross-functional teams to build the services and infrastructure that power core commerce experiences (product management, transaction tracking, managing payments to creators, integrating with third party merchant stores). Improve operational efficiency by shipping infra that optimizes performance, reliability and efficiency.
Who Were Looking For
Someone who both loves designing durable, extensible systems while also feeling comfortable building a first version quickly to validate then iterate. Bachelors degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent and 5+ years of Software Engineering experience. Experience building modern backend services that power web and mobile front ends, and manage the cloud infrastructure that powers your services. Experience with our core service stack (Typescript, Node.js and PostgreSQL, GraphQL). A plus is experience with the rest of our stack: AWS (S3, EventBridge, SQS, Lambdas, ECS, CDK), PHP, Snowflake for our data warehouse. Experience working with industry-wide payment facilitator services (Stripe, Paypal) and building systems for payment tracking is a plus.
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 $180,000 -$210,000 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.
