The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  LinkedIn is hiring a Unreal Developer in Bridgeport, CT.

• Role description

  We need an Unreal Developer who can take a vague technology request and return a client-centric system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. This freelance job at LinkedIn delivers $83,000 - $116,000, hands-on ownership, and a clear ladder for technology professionals.

  • Backfill Linux test coverage on the riskiest corners of LinkedIn's codebase
  • Negotiate Google Cloud tradeoffs with product when LinkedIn timelines and reality collide
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from LinkedIn stakeholders into shippable Scrum services

  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across CT engineering teams

  What You'll Bring

  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
  • An underdog-spirited bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • Hands-on Linux experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
  • A knack for Ansible that colleagues quietly come to rely on

  LinkedIn is a small-but-mighty Bridgeport, CT company born from the belief that technology tools should respect the people using them. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the technology call is made.
