Description For Manager, Software Engineering

LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, is seeking a Software Engineering Manager for their Anti-Abuse organization in Sunnyvale, CA. This is a hybrid role combining remote and office work. The position offers a competitive salary range of $147,000 - $240,000 per year.

The Anti-Abuse team's mission is crucial: building trust in every interaction on LinkedIn. As an Engineering Manager, you'll lead a small team developing detection and prevention systems to stay ahead of attackers in an adversarial space. This role requires a blend of technical expertise and leadership skills.

Your responsibilities will span both technical and managerial duties. You'll manage team performance and career development while owning significant parts of LinkedIn products that require design, architecture, and coding. You'll work closely with senior management on long-term technology roadmaps and serve as a role model for engineering excellence.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of industry experience in software design and development, with at least 1 year of management experience or staff-level engineering with management training. Strong programming skills in object-oriented languages are essential, as is experience with distributed systems and scalable applications.

LinkedIn offers an attractive benefits package including generous health and wellness programs, time-off policies, annual performance bonuses, and stock options. The company culture emphasizes trust, care, inclusion, and fun, creating an environment where everyone can succeed.

This role presents an exciting opportunity to impact LinkedIn's security infrastructure while developing your leadership skills. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies, tackle complex technical challenges, and help shape the future of professional networking security.

The position requires a BA/BS in Computer Science or related field, though equivalent practical experience is accepted. Experience with anti-abuse systems, phishing detection, or scraping prevention is highly valued. You'll be joining a company committed to fair compensation and professional growth, with a clear mission of creating economic opportunity for the global workforce.
