Description For Staff Software Engineer - Compute Infrastructure

LinkedIn, the world's largest professional network, is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their Compute Infrastructure team. This role presents a unique opportunity to work on high-impact projects that will shape the future of LinkedIn's engineering infrastructure.

The position focuses on the LinkedIn Kubernetes Infrastructure team, which provides an on-premises Kubernetes platform serving the entire company. You'll be responsible for developing capabilities for efficient cluster creation, multi-cluster solutions, automated upgrades, and intelligent health monitoring and remediation.

As a Staff Engineer, you'll lead technical strategy development for complex requirements, working on solutions that extend beyond your immediate team. Your work will directly impact LinkedIn's ability to scale its infrastructure to support its growing user base. The role requires expertise in distributed systems, Kubernetes ecosystem, and strong coding skills particularly in Golang.

The ideal candidate brings 8+ years of relevant experience, with a proven track record in architecting and operating large-scale distributed systems. You'll need to demonstrate both technical excellence and leadership abilities, as you'll be mentoring other engineers and helping build a fast-growing team.

LinkedIn offers a hybrid work environment, allowing you to balance remote work with office time in Mountain View, San Francisco, or Bellevue. The company provides comprehensive benefits including health and wellness programs, equity, and annual performance bonuses. This is an opportunity to join a company that values diversity, inclusion, and creating economic opportunities for every member of the global workforce.

The role combines technical challenges with strategic thinking, requiring someone who can both architect complex systems and guide others in their implementation. You'll be at the forefront of infrastructure innovation, working with cutting-edge technologies while helping LinkedIn maintain its position as the world's leading professional network.
