Job description

LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. 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.

Join us to transform the way the world works.

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.

• Develop scalable mobile applications using LinkedIn’s internal libraries and infrastructure.
• Make architectural decisions by applying synchronous and asynchronous design patterns, writing clean, efficient code, and delivering with speed and quality.
• Build and maintain robust CI pipelines to support efficient build and test workflows for LinkedIn’s iOS applications.
• Produce high-quality software that is unit tested, peer-reviewed, and continuously integrated.
• Provide technical leadership by driving best engineering practices and executing large-scale, cross-functional, and mission-critical programs.
• Identify and champion opportunities to enhance engineering productivity across the organization.

• 2+ years of industry experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of relevant work experience.
• MS or PhD in Computer Science or related technical discipline.

• Familiarity with API design and client/server communication principles.
• Understanding of best practices for multithreading and performance optimizations.
