At Linear, we are creating a new standard for modern software development. We are building the tools that empower the next generation of high-impact companies to do their best work. Linear’s project management software is designed based on the practices and processes that distinguish world-class product teams from the rest: relentless focus, fast execution, and a commitment to the quality of craft.  

Founded in 2019, Linear has become the default tool of choice for high-performance teams to build their products. Set up as a fully remote company from the start. Our team is distributed across a variety of countries across the US, Latin America, and Europe. No matter where we come from, we are makers at our core. We love picking up new challenges and care deeply about the quality of our work.

As a small team, we’re all generalists and constantly picking up new challenges. Regarding product and code, we’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it. We use TypeScript and build scalable systems so we can continuously make progress on a solid foundation. We don’t expect you to have a background in everything we use, but we do expect strong JavaScript fundamentals and a background working with React and TypeScript.

Please note: We are an equal-opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring within the US and most EU time zones.
