The opportunity

The Information Security Specialist we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; LinkedIn is honest about both. Count it up: 5 years, $70,000 - $103,000, a technology charter, and the kind of LinkedIn growth that compounds.

Key Responsibilities

  • Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
  • Untangle the SOC 2 Compliance dependency knots that have slowed Johnson City releases for months
  • Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
  • Defend LinkedIn uptime through the 2 a.m. Johnson City pages nobody volunteers for
  • Hand off Continuous Learning runbooks so the next on-call at LinkedIn sleeps better
  • Sketch SOC Operations sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
  • Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for quick-to-ship production environments

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years of SOC 2 Compliance reps, not just SOC 2 Compliance exposure
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
  • 4 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • Quality-focused problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

LinkedIn is a hands-on, fiercely independent Johnson City company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. Growth budgets at LinkedIn are generous because a sharper Phishing Simulation you means a stronger team.

Expect a $70,000 - $103,000 base, a growth path with milestones, a mentor who shows up, and benefits that make staying at LinkedIn easy.

Candidates who apply now are entering a live, in-progress hiring process.
