Our products help people make powerful connections, discover exciting opportunities, build necessary skills, and gain valuable insights every day. We're also committed to providing transformational opportunities for our own employees by investing in their growth. We aspire to create a culture that's built on trust, care, inclusion, and fun – where everyone can succeed.

Job Description

This role will be based in Bangalore, India.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

Our global Product Design team advances this vision through quality, inclusive design. We're passionate about designing an equal, fair, and accessible platform that's modern, engaging, and responsible.

We're looking for a Staff Product Designer to own design for the Payments Platform — the experiences that let members and customers pay, switch, get refunded, and transact with LinkedIn reliably, compliantly, and at global scale. You'll shape how LinkedIn launches new payment methods, optimizes checkout approval rates, reduces involuntary churn, and powers entirely new revenue streams.

This is a high-leverage, high-craft role at the intersection of commerce, trust, and growth — where every pixel touches real money, real compliance requirements, and millions of transactions.

Why join the Product Design team at LinkedIn?

- Designers are strategic partners, from product innovation and planning to launch
- Work and learn with passionate, talented, and supportive people
- We work on both consumer and enterprise products and encourage team rotation, so you can stay engaged and keep growing
- We're equipped with the best design tools in the business, including Figma, Principle, and Miro
- A trusting, open environment helps us do our best work and we have fun together! We're looking for a designer who leads by connecting the dots between admin and customer insights, design patterns, and business goals – someone who can define the end-to-end vision for how businesses onboard, manage, and grow on LinkedIn. You will partner and collaborate closely with product management, engineering, user research, UX writing, data science, and field/support teams across multiple lines of business. Designing for the world's workforce takes a diverse, empowered team — come be a part of ours.
