Jobs at Geniuslink

The Geniuslink Team is pioneering change in the global e-commerce industry. Our founding team, formerly of Apple and Microsoft, is leading the charge and we're looking for smart, hard-working, creative minds to help us transform the affiliate marketing landscape for creators, publishers, and retailers.

What are we looking for?

Here at Geniuslink, each of us is passionate about kicking butt at whatever we are working on, and having fun doing it. We honestly love what we do and don't believe in doing it any other way. We're looking for people who are passionate about learning, have strong communication skills and a sense of humor. We're a small, cross-functional, and agile team.

No commute necessary

In 2020 we embraced a full-time remote-work policy for all employees. We are proud to provide our team with more freedom to maintain a healthy life balance, while staying tightly connected through our virtual office and occasional social events.

Join the team

Think you have what it takes to help shake up the Internet with us? We are a small, dedicated team who likes to work hard and play hard. Your engineering chops are important, but so is your attitude, work ethic, and interests outside of work.

Drop us a line to tell us a little about your background and why you're interested in joining the team.

Current Openings

Software Engineer

Geniuslink

We are a small, bootstrapped Seattle-based company established in 2009, on a mission to disrupt the e-commerce and affiliate marketing landscape and offer a level playing field for retailers and marketplaces.

The team

We are a tight-knit and hard working team that prides itself in creating a supportive work environment, helping each team member excel and be their best selves.

The Job

We are a small team, so you will be involved in all aspects of software development from designing and implementing the powerful APIs and algorithms that power our services to creating beautiful client-facing features in our dashboard.

The Geniuslink Family

Geniuslink celebrates diversity and values an inclusive workplace and culture.
Flex Fridays: Work-life balance is important to us. Since the COVID-19 pandemic we have reexamined how and when we work. We are currently experimenting with a flexible four or five day work week. The result has been that many members of the team have shifted to work longer days Monday - Thursday, with shorter days on Friday or starting the weekend a day early. For those who prefer a 5-day week, you should have some quiet, focused time to wrap things up for the week on Fridays.
Team Events: We believe it is important to celebrate our accomplishments. Past events have included painting classes, BBQs, bowling, and axe throwing. Due to COVID-19, team events have changed with social distancing in mind. Recent events have included an online paella cooking class with a world class chef, a virtual escape room/trivia night, as well as a cocktail making class. In January 2021, Geniuslink bought the team Oculus Quest 2 headsets, and VR game nights have also been a fun way to connect while we’re all physically separated this year.
