Staff Product Designer

Linktree • Los Angeles, CA

3d • Hybrid

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, with intelligence and guidance built on their own data. We're scaling the design team across several experience pillars, and we hire versatile Staff designers with real range and a clear spike, then place them where they'll have the most impact. This role exists to hold that bar: a versatile designer with real range and a true spike, whose taste and standards raise the craft of everyone around them.

Requirements

• Range with a spike — a versatile product designer who's genuinely great at something, with a portfolio that shows both.
• Staff-level scope — you set direction and raise the bar for more than your own work.
• AI as part of how you work (a baseline for us), with the depth to move our practice forward.
• Low ego, high collaboration — your craft serves the product; you make the people around you better.
• Systems thinking — you design patterns that scale across surfaces and teams.
• Sharp product judgment; empathy for creators and the creator economy is a plus.
• Your depth — and your range
• Strong product designers first.

Nice To Haves

• Your spike is what you're known for; your range is the judgment to frame problems, the taste to know what's worth building, and the ability to work well outside your comfort zone when the problem calls for it.

Responsibilities

• Own a core surface or problem area end to end — from framing the problem to shipping high-craft work.
• Set direction and raise the quality bar around you, not just ship your own screens.
• Work the full range of the craft: product thinking, interaction and visual design, and prototyping to production fidelity.
• Partner closely with PM, engineering, research, and design systems.
• Use AI natively in how you explore, prototype, and ship — and help push our practice forward.
• Lead through influence, lifting the craft of the designers around you.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible work arrangements
• Robust professional development opportunities
• 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.
• Employee stock option program
