At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires.

Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 40,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.

As a small team, we’re all generalists that work across the full stack (built in Typescript end-to-end). We’re looking for experienced engineers that thrive in an environment of autonomy and individual responsibility to help us build the future of product development.

Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in the US and Europe. You can work from anywhere within those regions. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.

What you'll do

Build new user-facing features with everything from database models to GraphQL resolvers and UI components

Optimize our data synchronization stack by applying better serialization protocols

Add real-time collaborative editing to our content editor

Improve performance by profiling and tweaking virtualized list rendering

Add analytics, monitoring, and alerts to our service so that we can better respond to operational incidents

Open-source any non-trivial innovations that come out of our work on the product

Redefine best-in-class software development processes so that we can build a purpose-built product.

What we're looking for

5+ years of experience building customer-facing products at a high-quality software company

Track record of driving complex, end-to-end features (not just incremental improvements and refactors) with visible impact on the product

Product sensibility: you care about UX, speed, and polish, and you push back when something doesn't feel right

Comfortable working without heavy PM overhead; you can help to shape the problem, not just implement a solution

High ownership mentality: self-directed, full-lifecycle builder who takes a feature from idea to shipped

Thrives in a remote, async-first environment with a lean, high-output team

Experience at a startup or a company with a genuinely high engineering bar
