Software Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA, New York City, NY, or Birmingham, AL (remote available)
Type: Full time
Dept: Product & Engineering
Reports to: CTO
Compensation: $150K - $180K

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.

The role:

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.

Apply if you:

• Have 2+ years of experience building software professionally

• Can 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

• Are comfortable with ambiguity — you don't need a detailed spec to get started

Nice to haves:

• 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

Why Linq:

• 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
