Staff Product Designer
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, with intelligence and guidance built on their own data. We're scaling the design team across several experience pillars, and we hire versatile Staff designers with real range and a clear spike, then place them where they'll have the most impact.
A consumer product at this scale is made or broken by design. The hard part isn't producing screens; it's the judgment to frame an ambiguous problem, decide what's genuinely worth building, and carry it through to something shipped and polished. This role exists to hold that bar: a versatile designer with real range and a true spike, whose taste and standards raise the craft of everyone around them.
You'll do the following:
- Own a core surface or problem area end to end — from framing the problem to shipping high-craft work.
- Set direction and raise the quality bar around you, not just ship your own screens.
- Work the full range of the craft: product thinking, interaction and visual design, and prototyping to production fidelity.
- Partner closely with PM, engineering, research, and design systems.
- Use AI natively in how you explore, prototype, and ship — and help push our practice forward.
- Lead through influence, lifting the craft of the designers around you
We're looking for someone who:
- Has range with a spike — a versatile product designer who's genuinely great at something, with a portfolio that shows both.
- Has staff-level scope — you set direction and raise the bar for more than your own work.
- Uses AI as part of how you work (a baseline for us), with the depth to move our practice forward.
- Has low ego, high collaboration — your craft serves the product; you make the people around you better.
- Thinks in systems — you design patterns that scale across surfaces and teams.
- Has sharp product judgment; empathy for creators and the creator economy is a plus.
Your depth — and your range
We hire for both. Your spike is what you're known for; your range is the judgment to frame problems, the taste to know what's worth building, and the ability to work well outside your comfort zone when the problem calls for it. The strongest candidates are strong product designers first.
