• Partner with Product and Engineering to translate business problems into solutions, driving the roadmap from problem definition through to production
• Design and own scalable data pipelines for feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and real-time inference
• Establish and uphold engineering best practices for AI: evaluation design, prompt management & versioning, testing & monitoring.
• Lead technical design reviews and mentor engineers on AI foundations and production-grade AI patterns
• Evaluate and adopt new AI techniques, frameworks, and tooling to keep Linktree at the frontier of applied AI.

Who We’re Looking For

• 6+ years engineering experience with experience in building and maintaining data intensive, production systems.

• Hands-on experience with AI tools/frameworks (e.g., Braintrust, AutoEval) and/or MLOps tools (e.g., Airflow, MLflow, Vertex AI, or similar).
• Solid understanding of data engineering practices, including ETL, batch/streaming pipelines, and data quality monitoring.
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (we use AWS) and containerization.
