Staff Product Designer, Mobile

Linktree • Los Angeles, CA

35d • Remote

About The Position

Linktree is evolving from a link-in-bio tool to the place creators and businesses run everything — a control center that helps them understand what's working across platforms and decide what to do next. Linktree's users live on their phones, and native mobile is where a huge amount of that value gets delivered: capturing content on the go, staying on top of their audience, getting coached in the moment on how to grow. We're raising our mobile bar across the whole product, and we need a Staff designer to lead that craft. This is our mobile craft anchor. Every experience pillar owns its own mobile and web surfaces — your job is to be the designer who sets and raises the native bar across all of them. It's a cross-pillar, influence-heavy role: you'll go deep where native truly wins and keep the app feeling like one coherent product, not five disconnected ones — so every pillar's mobile work gets better.

Requirements

• An obsession with deep native mobile craft — fluency with iOS and Android conventions, gestures, motion, and performance-aware design.
• Significant time shipping consumer mobile products at scale, across diverse user bases where you've learned to balance sophistication with everyday usability — with a portfolio that reflects it.
• Staff-level scope: you set direction and raise the bar around you, not just ship your own screens.
• Low ego, high collaboration — your craft serves the product.
• You partner with the pillar design leads rather than competing with them, and you're energized by raising the mobile craft bar across teams, not by owning product direction yourself.
• Systems thinking — you design patterns that scale across surfaces and teams.
• Influence without authority — you make other teams better without managing them.
• AI as part of how you work (a baseline for us), with the depth to push our practice forward.
• Sharp product judgment; empathy for creators and the creator economy is a plus.
• Mobile is your depth, and we want someone genuinely great at it.
• Strong product designers first — so we're looking for range too: the judgment to frame problems, the taste to know what's worth building, and the ability to work beyond native when the problem calls for it.

Responsibilities

• Set and continually raise the bar for native iOS and Android across the entire product.
• Own the mobile patterns and craft standards that every pillar builds on.
• Go deep where native wins — capture, notifications, on-the-go coaching, gestures, performance, and motion.
• Run cross-pillar mobile review so the experience stays coherent as teams ship fast.
• Partner with Design Systems + Engineering to make mobile patterns real in code, and prototype your own ideas to production fidelity.
• Lead through influence — lifting the mobile craft of designers across every pillar.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package
• Annual wellbeing allowance to use on things like fitness memberships, development courses, childcare, travel, charitable donations, pet insurance, home office set-up
• 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
• Employee stock option program
