Experienced in
modern web development and architecture
(TypeScript, React, GraphQL, AWS, PHP).
Proven track record
leading engineering teams in product‑led environments , ideally consumer‑facing or design‑forward products (e.g., Figma, Canva, Notion, Squarespace).
Skilled at balancing
strategic direction with hands‑on execution ; you’re as comfortable in the code as you are in roadmap discussions.
Collaborative and empathetic, with strong
cross‑functional communication
skills.
Reliability‑first mindset with experience managing production systems and on‑call processes.
Curious and
AI‑forward , using automation and LLM tools to boost team velocity.

From creators, artists, and entrepreneurs to global brands, we’re redefining how people connect with their communities, showcase their content and promote products — all in one link.
Today, a community of 70+ million use Linktree, including icons like Adidas, TikTok, the UN Environmental Program, The NFL, Manchester United, World Central Kitchen, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, and Selena Gomez. With 48,000 new accounts created every day, Linktree is the fastest‑growing leader in our space.

We’re a tight‑knit, passionate team building best‑in‑class tools that make online presence simple, powerful, and yours. If you're excited by the idea of shaping a new category, setting the standard, and making space for everyone to be seen and succeed, we’d love to meet you.
Where and How We Work We’re a global, diverse team spread across continents with offices in London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and San Francisco. We work together flexibly and you can choose the setup that works best for you: fully remote or a hybrid mix of office and home.
