About The Position

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. Our mission is to provide a reliable, efficient and intuitive development ecosystem to empower our iOS engineers to be productive. We serve hundreds of iOS engineers who build Linkedin's iOS applications. We work in all areas of the development lifecycle - from code authoring, code quality, build, and test infrastructure. Our team builds the core infrastructure, shared components, developer experience, and distributed testing infrastructure to address the challenges of scale that come with a large codebase and a large number of engineers. We improve the productivity of our engineers via projects focussed on code modularization, test/code isolation, and dependency management. We provide developers with the latest technologies by bringing the latest Apple tooling and releases to developers. We ensure that our CI pipelines and workflows are working as fast as possible through a combination of the above projects and other initiatives with LinkedIn's developer productivity team.
