Backend Engineer
linx experienceBrooklyn (NY)
About the role
LINX is a peer-referral platform for luxury travel booking, fueled by sharable user-created adventure films.
The role:
Lead engineer for the development of a robust, scalable backend and a mobile app for the platform.
What you'd ownThe backend. The API, the data model, and the pipeline that turns a day of uploads into a film, running on AWS.
Our mobile app is Expo and React Native against a Kotlin and Spring Boot API.
The stack is flexible for the right backend engineer. A strong backend, and the right person to build it, matters more than staying in the current language.
Required experience:
Has built an enterprise-level backend, or worked on an enterprise-level backend team.
Has built a functional app before and can show it.
AWS and cloud computing experience.
Ideally end-to-end MLOps experience. You will be handling LLM API integration at scale, which is genuinely hard to do well.
Experience with big datasets, ideally adjacent to high-volume image or video processing and production.
Preferred qualifications:
Ideal candidate takes initiative, plans ahead, is comfortable owning a large project, works quickly, is self-directed, and brings their own vision they can execute on.
Ideally also familiar with Kotlin and Spring Boot.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
