LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, built to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We're also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that's built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun - where everyone can succeed. Join us to transform the way the world works. This role will be based in Mountain View, CA. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. This role may be remote or hybrid. At LinkedIn, hybrid roles are performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. Remote roles are performed from the designated home work location upon time of hire, and any changes to this home work location requires a review of remote status and approval. The team builds high-quality products and services to ensure the health and reliability of LinkedIn at scale. Our products empower LinkedIn engineers to deliver value to members at a high velocity and without defects. We strive to prevent these defects early in the SDLC process, automating solutions to mitigate issues on behalf of engineers when possible. In addition, our metrics have high visibility across R&D and are leveraged by the lines of business to drive long-term strategy and investment in their organizations.
