Software Engineer - Applications

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. 

Responsibilities: 

• You will scale distributed applications, make architectural trade-offs applying synchronous and asynchronous design patterns, write code, and deliver with speediness and quality. 
• You will develop multi-tier scalable, high-volume performing, and reliable user-centric applications that operate 24x7. 
• You will produce high quality software that is unit tested, code reviewed, and checked in regularly for continuous integration. 
• You will provide technical leadership, driving and performing best engineering practices to initiate, plan, and execute large-scale, cross functional, and company-wide critical programs. Identify, leverage, and successfully evangelize opportunities to improve engineering productivity 
• You will own end-to-end feature delivery, translating ambiguous product requirements into clean, testable, and maintainable production code. 
• You will write high-quality software that is rigorously unit-tested, peer-reviewed, and deployed using robust continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. 
• You will utilize AI tools throughout the SDLC to boost design, coding, and review productivity 
• You will design extensible APIs and backend services that elegantly handle synchronous and asynchronous workflows, making deliberate architectural trade-offs between speed and scalability. 
• You will design and optimize data layers, selecting appropriate relational or non-relational database architectures to handle distributed transactions and large-scale data storage. 
• You are expected to demonstrate technical ownership, driving engineering best practices like code health, thorough documentation, and comprehensive post-mortems. 
• You are expected to operate with agility, delivering high-impact features with speed and operational quality without compromising system stability. 
• You will work with cross-functional partners, including Product Management, Design, and Data Science, to build intuitive, reliable, and user-centric application experiences.
