Experience

1. Senior Engineering Manager, Experimentation Platform, Online Infra

   Linkedin

   Aug 2025 — Present · Bangalore Urban, IN

   At LinkedIn, every change to our products and services is rigorously tested through experiments to assess their impact on our members and metrics. These experiments are gradually scaled up to evaluate their effects at each stage before moving forward. We conduct thousands of such experiments daily across all our product offerings resulting in millions of evaluations on the platform, and it\'s crucial that the results and insights are reliable.To facilitate this, LinkedIn has established a centralized experimentation platform used by all engineering teams to launch new services or product features with an experimentation flag. This platform allows them to set up experiments, scale them safely, observe results, and gain insights into statistical significance and metric impact. The stability, reliability, and observability of these platforms are paramount. Continuous evolution of our tech stack is essential to support the scale of thousands of experiments. Additionally, as we integrate more AI/ML workloads, our experimentation platform must evolve to meet these new demands. Our goal is to transition from a manual design, execution, and reporting process to a fully automated, AI-assisted experience, to drive increase in experimentation velocity. We are in the process of forming a new team within the Online Infrastructure organization in LinkedIn India to spearhead this initiative, which is being transferred from the US. We are seeking talented engineers at all levels, from Software Engineers through Staff Engineers to join us in this exciting endeavor.
