The Role

We are looking for a Staff/Senior Software Engineer to join our Security team. As a member of the Security team, you’ll work across a wide range of areas to improve Linktree’s security posture.

If you’re excited by working with different teams and on a wide range of technologies, this role is for you.

What You’ll Own

• Partner with our platform teams in securing our development tooling, incl. CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure primitives we make available to our development teams.
• Partner with product and platform teams in securing our APIs and infrastructure estate.

Who We’re Looking For

• You care about figuring out how to work backwards from a desired outcome and take pride in building the simplest possible solution to achieve that goal.
• You care about the users of your systems and actively strive to build solutions that make their lives easier, not harder.
• You get excited by, and are good at getting familiar with new technologies and existing systems written by others.
• Experience with our stack is a plus: Typescript, Node.js, PostGreSQL. The rest of our stack includes GraphQL, AWS (S3, EventBridge, SQS, Lambda, ECS, DynamoDB, CDK) and Snowflake. Our monolith consists of a PHP code base.
• Security experience is a plus.
