SOFTWARE ENGINEER Location: San Francisco, CA, New York City, NY, or Birmingham, AL (remote available) Type: Full time Dept: Product & Engineering Reports to: CTO Compensation: $150K - $180K We believe the future of technology is a conversation, not a click. Linq builds the infrastructure that lets businesses talk to customers through AI — in the channels where conversations are already happening: iMessage, RCS, SMS, and voice. We're a small team, we ship code every single day, and we're just getting started. The role: You'll build product on Linq's messaging platform — the APIs, the interfaces, the infrastructure underneath. We work across the stack (React/Next.js, Node, TypeScript, Go) and ship daily. You'll own features end to end, and you'll be close enough to customers and leadership to understand why you're building what you're building. Apply if you: - Have 2+ years of experience building software professionally - Can work across the stack — you don't have to be an expert everywhere, but you're not afraid of any layer - Ship clean, functional code and care about getting better at it - Like working fast without sacrificing quality - Are comfortable with ambiguity — you don't need a detailed spec to get started Nice to haves: - Experience with our stack: React/Next.js, Node, TypeScript, Go - Familiarity with APIs — building them, consuming them, or both - Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Heroku, Docker) - Startup experience — you've worked where priorities shift weekly and you figure things out as you go Why Linq: - Health/Dental/Vision insurance - Flexible PTO - 401(k) - Wellness stipend, book stipend, professional development opportunities - Direct access to engineering leadership — we're a small team solving real problems with no layers of bureaucracy between you and the work
