Hybrid • Mountain View, CA

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. This role will be based in Sunnyvale, CA. Our Core AI organization is dedicated to transforming the professional world through innovative artificial intelligence solutions. We aim to enhance the experiences of over a billion members worldwide, enabling them to connect, learn, and grow in unprecedented ways. We develop next generation AI technologies that understand the unique needs of professionals and proactively assist them in achieving their goals. Core AI is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to develop agentic models that will redefine how our members interact with the LinkedIn platform. We are building advanced AI agents that exhibit reasoning, planning, and interaction capabilities. These agents will power new features and experiences that anticipate professionals' needs, automate complex tasks, and provide personalized guidance, ultimately shaping the future of work.
