What You’ll Own
Design, build and ship full-stack features across the Linkapps surface, from the partner-facing services through to what the creator actually sees.
Own third-party integrations end-to-end: evaluate the partner’s API or SDK, design the integration, ship it, and keep it healthy in production.
Ship inside our composable Link Apps system, and improve it where you hit its edges, so that the next integration costs less than the last one did without turning every integration into a platform project.
Design and maintain the services, APIs and cloud infrastructure behind these experiences, with real attention to auth, rate limits, versioning and graceful degradation.
Partner with product, design and partnerships to work out what’s technically feasible with a given partner and where the creator value actually sits.
Instrument what you ship and use the data to decide what to fix, cut or double down on.
Bring AI into how you build, and where it earns its place, into the integrations themselves.
Contribute to a strong engineering culture in a small, distributed squad - clear writing, good reviews, and leaving the codebase better than you found it.
Who We’re Looking For
5+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production full-stack features.
Solid full-stack skills across our core stack (TypeScript, Node.js, React, PostgreSQL or MySQL, GraphQL, AWS), with the ability to move end-to-end on a feature.
Meaningful experience integrating third-party APIs and SDKs - you’ve owned an integration in production and dealt with the auth, rate limits, versioning and outages that come with it.
Comfortable working in a large, established codebase you did not write, with the judgment to know what is safe to change.
Experience designing services and APIs within cloud-based, service-oriented architectures.
Fluency with AI-assisted development (e.g. Claude, Cursor, Codex), including how to prompt, iterate, validate and refine what these tools produce.
Comfortable with ambiguity: you can take a loosely defined partner opportunity and turn it into a shipped, measured feature.
A high standard for craft. You notice the empty state, the error message and the loading flicker without being asked.
A clear, async-first communicator who works well with product, design, partnerships and business stakeholders, and teammates across time zones.
Based in Australia (Melbourne, Sydney or remote) preferred
