Our Story
Where and How We Work
How we’ll help you thrive
Linktree is evolving from a link-in-bio tool to the place creators and businesses run everything — a control center that helps them understand what's working across platforms and decide what to do next. Linktree's users live on their phones, and native mobile is where a huge amount of that value gets delivered: capturing content on the go, staying on top of their audience, getting coached in the moment on how to grow. We're raising our mobile bar across the whole product, and we need a Staff designer to lead that craft.
This is our mobile craft anchor. Every experience pillar owns its own mobile and web surfaces — your job is to be the designer who sets and raises the native bar across all of them. It's a cross-pillar, influence-heavy role: you'll go deep where native truly wins and keep the app feeling like one coherent product, not five disconnected ones — so every pillar's mobile work gets better.
- Set and continually raise the bar for native iOS and Android across the entire product.
- Own the mobile patterns and craft standards that every pillar builds on.
- Go deep where native wins — capture, notifications, on-the-go coaching, gestures, performance, and motion.
- Run cross-pillar mobile review so the experience stays coherent as teams ship fast.
- Partner with Design Systems + Engineering to make mobile patterns real in code, and prototype your own ideas to production fidelity.
- Lead through influence — lifting the mobile craft of designers across every pillar.
- An obsession with deep native mobile craft — fluency with iOS and Android conventions, gestures, motion, and performance-aware design.
- Significant time shipping consumer mobile products at scale, across diverse user bases where you've learned to balance sophistication with everyday usability — with a portfolio that reflects it.
- Staff-level scope: you set direction and raise the bar around you, not just ship your own screens.
- Low ego, high collaboration — your craft serves the product. You partner with the pillar design leads rather than competing with them, and you're energized by raising the mobile craft bar across teams, not by owning product direction yourself.
- Systems thinking — you design patterns that scale across surfaces and teams.
- Influence without authority — you make other teams better without managing them.
- AI as part of how you work (a baseline for us), with the depth to push our practice forward.
- Sharp product judgment; empathy for creators and the creator economy is a plus.
Mobile is your depth, and we want someone genuinely great at it. But the strongest mobile designers are strong product designers first — so we're looking for range too: the judgment to frame problems, the taste to know what's worth building, and the ability to work beyond native when the problem calls for it.
