Staff Backend Engineer, Commerce
LinktreeThe Role
We are looking for Staff backend software engineers who are great problem solvers, enjoy collaborating with others (not just engineers) that value well-written and tested code. As an engineer at Linktree, you’ll be working together with various members and teams to achieve your goals. You’ll dive deep into how we currently work and help us optimize it as you grow into your role. We’re just getting started, so joining us now means a LOT of influence on the direction we’re going.
As a member of the Commerce team, you will be working on a 0 to 1 social commerce product for Linktree. You'll be joining at an early stage of product development, where you get to own, shape, and ultimately build the product. We're a start-up within a start-up.
What You’ll 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 We’re Looking For
- Someone with experience leading product teams in early product development and who both loves designing durable, extensible systems while also feeling comfortable building a first version quickly to validate then iterate.
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent and 8+ 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 building e-commerce platforms is a plus. Experience working with industry-wide payment facilitator services (Stripe, Paypal) and building systems for payment tracking is a plus.
How We’ll Help You Thrive
Our approach to benefits considers the whole person and the unique contributions they bring to Linktree. We want the experience at Linktree to be one that enables people to truly thrive so we can Go Further Together. Some ways we support you:
- An annual wellbeing allowance to use on things like (but not limited to) fitness memberships, development courses, childcare, travel, charitable donations, pet insurance, home office set up - the choice is yours!
- 100% coverage (and 80% for your dependents) of your monthly premiums for medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance for US-based employees.
- Employer contribution towards your retirement.
- Generous time off for vacation, holidays, parental leave, volunteer time and other categories.
- Employee Stock Option Program - we want each and every employee to share in the company’s success as we go further together.
Where And How We Work
We are a global and diverse group offering a truly flexible and family friendly work environment. Kids, pets, and the occasional delivery person are all actively encouraged to appear on our Zoom screens. All of us at Linktree work either fully remote or a flex hybrid approach.
We offer autonomy and flexibility in how you structure your days and weeks. There will be the need for some collaboration outside of your usual 9-5 being a global company, but we aim to work asynchronously where possible.
