IT Automation Engineer

In the time it takes you to read this job ad, around 100 new accounts will have signed up to Linktree.

If you read through the requirements as a checklist and haven't ticked every box, please don't rule yourself out just yet. We've seen the research that women and other people in underrepresented groups tend to only apply when the checklist is all ticks and no crosses. So if this role resonates with you, hit that apply button!

About the Role

This is a new, hands-on role reporting to the Head of IT, and you’ll be the first person on a new team as a part of our Corporate Engineering group. Our focus is to remove the “work about work” and deliver delightful experiences to everyone at Linktree. As an IT Automation Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building internal systems and integrations between the services and applications in our business. 

You’ll have opportunities to solve new and unique challenges – this is a highly interactive and collaborative role. You’ll work with leaders across all our teams, build custom integrations, collaborate with external vendors, and serve as a technical lead on your solutions.   

Building means writing code, scripts, and working with APIs and building your own solutions if something doesn’t exist “out of the box.” Your work will solve problems and improve experiences for every Linktree team member – this is a high impact role!

We are a “hybrid” company; most of our staff work remotely, some prefer our offices, and others something in between. You’re free to choose a way of working that works for you. 

Finally, this isn’t a checklist. If you don’t have everything on this job description, but you think your experience is a great match, go ahead and apply - tell us why you’re a great fit!

Where & How We Work

We are a global, diverse group across age, gender, and race and offer a truly flexible and family friendly work environment. Kids, pets, and the occasional delivery person are all actively encouraged to appear on our Zoom screens. All of us at Linktree work either fully remote or a hybrid "remote, but in-office sometimes" approach and that will continue even when COVID is behind us.

We currently have offices in Melbourne, Sydney, LA coming next, but our team is spread across Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, USA, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand.

Being globally distributed doesn't mean working to one timezone and we offer autonomy and flexibility in how you structure your days and weeks. There will be the need for some collaboration outside of a "normal" 9-5 being a global company, but we aim to work asynchronously where possible.

Our Culture & Benefits

Linktree's company culture and values are based around collaboration, diversity, inclusion, and flexibility. Those are all nice words but to give you some more specific examples:

• We recognise that each person is unique and have designed our benefits with this in mind. Each person has $6000 AUD to spend across Wellness, Growth, Lifestyle, and Impact pillars. This could be gym memberships, courses, childcare, pet insurance, holidays, or green energy initiatives.

• We have a paid 18-week parental leave program that is inclusive of birth and non-birthing parents and supports the whole parenting lifecycle.

• We are proud to offer all regular full-time and part-time employees 20 hours' paid volunteering leave per calendar year.

• Flexibility is at the core of Linktree, so whether you prefer fully remote, the office, or a bit of both, the choice is up to you. We trust you to get the work done.

• We have several diversity and inclusion initiatives underway, including a D&I council, training for all staff on neurodiversity, unconscious bias, and the incorporation of a transpositive inclusion policy.

• We prioritise our team's mental health, with all employees having free access to Headspace and Uprise, including 1:1 coaching sessions from qualified psychologists or counsellors.

• All Linktree staff receive $1000 AUD towards setting up their work from home space.

The Linktree Story

The average number of social media accounts is close to 9 per person these days. Chances are you’re also using more than 3-4 social media platforms - but where should someone who want to discover more about you can achieve that? In a highly fragmented digital world, the concept of presenting your whole self feels overwhelming to most - and that’s where Linktree comes in.

Creating this category 5 years ago, we launched a simple tool that allowed anyone to manage their corner of the online world. Want to link all your social media accounts under one link? Thinking of turning your passion into your income? Want to share your ideas, beliefs, or even just a playlist you like? Linktree has the platform to help you get it done.

It sounds good, we hear you say, but how do I know if it works? Fair question - why don’t you take it up with Facebook, TikTok, Redbull, HBO, Metallica, Alicia Keys, Selena Gomez, or Michelle Obama? They’re all using Linktree!

With an average sign up rate of 30,000+ new users per day for the past 18 months (with no signs of stopping), and with our latest funding round of $45M USD announced recently, we’re on our way to make real impact on the digital world - and we’d love for you to join us for this ride.
