Role
Who you are
- A degree in Computer Science or equivalent with 6+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer or in a similar role
- A platform mindset. Our Data Platform team does not do repetitive data transformation and integration jobs for others. The team builds the infrastructure and tools that allows Linktree to perform these tasks at scale by enabling all teams to perform data-related jobs themselves
- Data as well as a software engineering background. Our data platform spans from the SDKs that our teams use to emit and consume data in front- and back-end applications to the integration with various third-party systems, including everything in between (data ingestion, event brokers, data persistence, etc.).
- To be successful in your role you’ll need to be proficient in both. Having worked with distributed, event-driven systems is a plus
- Experience operating at scale. You have worked on data systems that power a product that serves hundreds of millions of active users
What the job involves
- As a Senior Data Engineer at Linktree, you will be the driving force behind scaling our data platform
- The Data Platform team is at the forefront of transforming the way Linktree leverages data, working closely with the insights, analytics engineering, product and marketing teams to become truly data driven
- Develop and implement the strategy for the Data Platform in close collaboration with other data and engineering leaders
- Continue leading the transformation to make data a first-class citizen in software development at Linktree. This includes providing other teams with the self-service capabilities to ingest, transform, consume and integrate data with other systems for both production and analytics use-cases
- You will be building and improving data-driven systems including, but not limited to, instrumentation at the source, event ingestion, event brokers, data warehouses, pipelines and integration systems used to activate data in third parties, such as an experimentation platform, product analytics and marketing tooling
- Ensure our data platform continues to scale with our rapidly growing user base and ever-evolving product. Linktree’s growth constantly creates new challenges like needing to master data governance and discoverability with many different teams producing data, or hitting the scalability limits of cloud providers
Our take
Linktree emerges as a response to Instagram's initial limitation on incorporating clickable links within posts, offering users a solution to guide their followers' online interactions. The platform allows users to create one evergreen link to their Linktree profile that can be edited to included links to differnt content.
What truly distinguishes Linktree is its role in shaping a new market segment upon its inception and its sustained dominance, capturing an impressive 90% of the market share within its niche. Its adaptability proves to be a significant asset, catering to a diverse array of industries, including real estate, wellness, music, politics, and healthcare. This flexibility, coupled with its established presence and user-friendly interface, has solidified Linktree as a premier choice for brands and individuals looking to curate their online presence seamlessly.
In early 2002, Linktree achieved Unicorn status through a highly successful funding round, attesting to its enduring impact and viability in the tech landscape. With a global user base exceeding 30M, the platform boasts partnerships with renowned brands such as aShopify, Facebook, TikTok, YSL, and HBO. As Instagram evolves to permit multiple links in users' bios, Linkree faces new competition. However, Linktree's proven track record, coupled with its continuous innovation, positions it as a formidable player, capable of providing distinctive value beyond the basic multi-link functionality.
