The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  LinkedIn is hiring a Software Engineer in Cleveland, OH.

• Role description

  We're opening a contract Software Engineer role for an engineer fluent in Git and allergic to undocumented surprises. Boiled down: contract, $64,000 - $94,000, 5 years of PostgreSQL, and a seat at the table where LinkedIn decisions get made.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
  • Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools
  • Push Agile changes safely behind flags so Cleveland, OH rollbacks take seconds
  • Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
  • Read the Git stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
  • Own the Agile release that Cleveland leadership has circled on the calendar

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Comfort with the contract cadence of a Cleveland-based operation
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity
  • Familiarity with the rhythms of a deeply-bought-in contract team

  LinkedIn grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Cleveland room into the technology partner much of OH now trusts. The make-it-better pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.

  The package is honest: $64,000 - $94,000, a benefits plan that works, mentorship that lasts, and the flexibility to live in Cleveland, OH.

  Re-dated this morning, LinkedIn continues hiring for the Software Engineer role.
