About the role

What You’ll Own

  • Build, deploy, and maintain AI agents and features across Linktree’s core product surfaces — including personalisation, recommendations, and creator analytics
  • Partner with Product and Engineering to translate business problems into solutions, driving the roadmap from problem definition through to production
  • Design and own scalable data pipelines for feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and real-time inference
  • Establish and uphold engineering best practices for AI: evaluation design, prompt management & versioning, testing & monitoring
  • Lead technical design reviews and mentor engineers on AI foundations and production-grade AI patterns
  • Evaluate and adopt new AI techniques, frameworks, and tooling to keep Linktree at the frontier of applied AI

Who We’re Looking For

  • 6+ years engineering experience with experience in building and maintaining data intensive, production systems
  • Familiarity with modern AI engineering techniques such as prompt-engineering, fine-tuning, eval loops, and technologies such as Gemini, Claude and OpenAI APIs
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools/frameworks (e.g., Braintrust, AutoEval) and/or MLOps tools (e.g., Airflow, MLflow, Vertex AI, or similar)
  • Solid understanding of data engineering practices, including ETL, batch/streaming pipelines, and data quality monitoring
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (we use AWS) and containerization
  • Experience with shortening “build-measure-learn” by means of prototyping and experimentation to iterate quickly and build software users love
