The company provides comprehensive benefits including health coverage, wellness programs, and generous time off. This role is based in Sunnyvale, CA and requires full-time in-office presence due to the hands-on nature of the work.

You'll be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and technical excellence while supporting LinkedIn's mission to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.
