The Ads Audience and Identity team is responsible for the systems that power LinkedIn’s abilities to determine the identity of a visitor, mine troves of activity data to present as a targetable audience, and to balance retrieval against ranking at runtime.

We operate at the intersection of machine learning systems (retrieval, prediction, identity graph), backend systems (LLMs, streaming systems, analytics) and product design (how to best present these options to an advertiser, copilots).

Together, they power the experiences for advertisers to set up their ad targeting, for us to convince them of the right targeting to use and to finally present what is unique about the audience we deliver to them.

As a Principal Engineer you will be setting the technical direction and foundation to build and own algorithms, models, systems and product experiences that power LinkedIn’s Audience and Identity tech platform.

We are looking for a high performing and high ambition tech lead who will use AI/ML, Infrastructure and Product Design to push the boundaries of our ads stack and meet the future needs of our B2B advertisers.

You will closely work with product and engineering partners (at the level of Directors+ and Principal Engineers+) to define and shape product and technical strategies for LinkedIn’s Ads business.
