## About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on Engineering Manager to lead our Activation team — the team focused on helping more users successfully get started with Linktree, experience value quickly, and become engaged, retained users. You’ll lead a small, cross-functional engineering squad working at the heart of our growth funnel, partnering closely with Product, Design, and Data to identify opportunities, run experiments, and ship experiences that improve activation and drive meaningful user and business outcomes.

## What they're looking for

- Experienced in modern software development and architecture , with the technical depth to contribute hands-on and guide important engineering decisions
- Proven track record leading engineers and shipping user-facing products , ideally in a consumer, product-led, growth, or highly metrics-driven environment
- A true player-coach — you enjoy developing engineers while remaining close to the code and technical execution
- Comfortable working with experimentation, analytics, and user insights to understand whether what you ship is actually driving impact
- Strong product instincts and a collaborative approach to working with Product, Design, Data, and Engineering partners
- Skilled at balancing speed, quality, and scalability , with strong judgment around scope, prioritization, and technical tradeoffs
