Job description

LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.

We're also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that's built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business.

You’ll join the team building Career Hub, LinkedIn’s product for helping employees build meaningful careers, and companies build a stronger workforce. As AI reshapes how people work, the skills someone has today may not be the skills they need tomorrow — Career Hub is how enterprises help employees see what’s next, build toward it, and move into new roles. It also gives organizations a clearer picture of the skills across their workforce, so they can align talent to what the business needs most and adapt as that need shifts.

You will own complex systems end-to-end, set technical direction, drive architectural quality, and mentor engineers — helping people and organizations navigate a changing world of work.

Responsibilities

• You will design and execute user-facing features for the native LinkedIn app on iOS devices by leveraging mobile operating system frameworks for multi-threading, persisting data, and managing user experience and graphics across multiple screen sizes.
• You will use the latest cutting edge technologies and libraries suggested by Apple for building responsive native apps for iOS.
• You will build scalable native mobile apps using LinkedIn’s internal libraries.
• You will produce high-quality software that is unit tested, code reviewed and checked in regularly for continuous integration.
• You will provide technical leadership, driving best engineering practices to initiate, plan, and execute large-scale, cross-functional, and company-wide critical programs.

• BA/BS in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of industry experiencesoftware design, development, and algorithm-related solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• 6+ years of relevant work experience
• MS in Computer Science or related technical discipline
• Expertise in API design and client/server communication; reliability in asynchronous networking.
• Proven multithreading and performance optimization skills; mastery of debugging and profiling tools.
• Track record of building automated tests (XCTest, UI tests, snapshot tests) and maintaining CI quality gates.
• Advanced Swift proficiency (Swift Concurrency); working knowledge of Objective-C for interoperability.

Suggest Skills
