Job description

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

Responsibilities

• You will drive the technical roadmap and architecture for an entire product area or major infrastructure domain, aligning engineering efforts with medium to long term business goals.
• You will design highly complex, multi-tiered distributed systems, making critical high-stakes choices regarding synchronous vs. asynchronous patterns, data storage, and third-party integrations.
• You are expected to identify, champion, and execute large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that fundamentally improve engineering productivity, system reliability, or operational costs.
• You will work with engineering directors, product leads, and cross-functional principals to define technical strategies and de-risk highly ambiguous product requirements.
• You will learn to navigate complex organizational dynamics, mastering the art of technical persuasion and driving consensus across divergent engineering teams.
• You will scale distributed applications, make architectural trade-offs applying synchronous and asynchronous design patterns, write code, and deliver with speediness and quality.
• You will develop multi-tier scalable, high-volume performing, and reliable user-centric applications that operate 24x7.
• 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 and performing best engineering practices to initiate, plan, and execute large-scale, cross functional, and company-wide critical programs.
• You will identify, leverage, and successfully evangelize opportunities to improve engineering productivity.
