## About the role
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.
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.
## Responsibilities
- Build product on Linq's messaging platform — the APIs, the interfaces, the infrastructure underneath
- Work across the stack (React/Next.js, Node, TypeScript, Go) and ship daily
- Own features end to end
- Stay close enough to customers and leadership to understand why you're building what you're building
## Requirements
- 2+ years of experience building software professionally
- Ability to 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
- Comfortable with ambiguity — you don't need a detailed spec to get started
## Nice to have
- 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
## What we offer
- 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
