At Linear, we are on a mission is to inspire and accelerate builders. To help teams do their best work, we are creating a purpose-built tool for planning and building products that combines elegant UI with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the tool of choice for 10,000+ companies.
Quality is our competitive advantage. Every member of our fully remote team is a maker at heart, caring deeply about the quality and feel of our work. While the industry optimizes for speed and metrics alone, we believe that craft and quality have lasting value. Quality creates gravity — it pulls people toward our team and product rather than requiring us to push. This philosophy drives everything we do, from product decisions to hiring choices.
For this role, we expect robust design skills, sharp product thinking, and the ability to engage in technical discussions. We work in small, autonomous project teams, where engineers are paired tightly with designers to explore ideas, build prototypes, deploy internal builds, and ultimately ship to customers. You will be a key element of projects from beginning to end.
Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can only support hiring within North America and Canada for this role.
