Staff Product Designer, Mobile

The Role

Linktree is evolving from a link-in-bio tool to the place creators and businesses run everything - a control center that helps them understand whats working across platforms and decide what to do next. Linktrees 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. Were raising our mobile bar across the whole product, and we need a Staff designer to lead that craft.

Why This Role Matters

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. Its a cross-pillar, influence-heavy role: youll go deep where native truly wins and keep the app feeling like one coherent product, not five disconnected ones - so every pillars mobile work gets better.

What youll do

• 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.

What we're looking for

• 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 youve 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 youre 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.

Your depth - and your range

Mobile is your depth, and we want someone genuinely great at it. But the strongest mobile designers are strong product designers first - so were looking for range too: the judgment to frame problems, the taste to know whats worth building, and the ability to work beyond native when the problem calls for it.
