Description For Staff Software Engineer - Frontend

LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their Frontend team in Mountain View, CA. This is a hybrid role focused on developing and managing internal tooling (UI/CLI/API) to aid in capacity planning and usage optimization of LinkedIn's infrastructure fleet.

The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring expertise in frontend technologies, distributed systems, and API design. You'll be responsible for building scalable, user-centric applications that maintain 24/7 uptime while ensuring high performance and reliability. Key responsibilities include developing reusable UI components, creating CLI features, and designing robust APIs for backend operations.

As a Staff Engineer, you'll lead by example in establishing engineering best practices and mentor junior team members. The role requires strong technical skills in frontend development (React, TypeScript, JavaScript) and experience with distributed systems. You'll work on critical infrastructure tools that help teams plan hardware investments and optimize resource utilization.

The position offers competitive compensation ($147,000 - $240,000) and comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401k, and parental leave. LinkedIn provides a culture built on trust, care, and inclusion, with opportunities for professional growth and development. The hybrid work arrangement allows for both remote work and in-office collaboration, optimizing for culture and connection.

This is an excellent opportunity for a senior engineer looking to make a significant impact at scale while working with cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative environment.
