Engineering Manager, Core Experience
About The Position
We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our Curate pillar — the team behind how millions of users shape their Linktrees through identity, design, and content organization. This pillar owns the surfaces and systems that bring expression, curation, and action together — from link appearance and layout to theming and creator tools. You’ll guide a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and PMs to ship beautiful, performant, and reliable user experiences at speed. You’ll balance architectural depth with rapid prototyping, champion quality and maintainability, and ensure we deliver delightful features that reflect Linktree’s aesthetic bar.
Requirements
- 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.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with growth or experimentation frameworks.
- Background working on creator platforms, personalization, or design tooling.
- Passion for helping users express themselves through beautiful, high-performing digital experiences.
Responsibilities
- Lead and mentor a high-performing engineering squad focused on building expressive, high-impact user surfaces.
- Architect and prototype new customization and curation features, contributing code when it unblocks progress.
- Drive technical excellence through thoughtful design reviews, testing practices, and operational reliability.
- Partner with Product and Design to translate user needs into scalable systems and elegant experiences.
- Set clear outcomes and prioritize effectively across multiple streams to maximize impact and velocity.
- Embed AI tooling and workflows to enhance developer productivity and accelerate delivery.
- Champion reliability, ensuring smooth on-call coverage and continuous improvement in incident response.
Benefits
- 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.
