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
