About Linear
Linear is transforming how software is built by bringing elegance, speed, and efficiency back to development. Born from the frustrations of experienced builders at companies like Airbnb and Uber, Linear set out to create a project management tool that truly empowers product teams. Today, over 20,000 organizations, from ambitious startups to major enterprises like OpenAI and Cash App, rely on Linear to track issues, manage sprints, and organize product roadmaps. With a recent Series C funding round valuing the company at $1.25 billion, Linear is poised for continued growth, focusing on product innovation and the integration of AI to further streamline workflows.
Linear operates as a fully remote company, with a diverse team distributed across North America and Europe. This remote-first philosophy is deeply ingrained in their culture, prioritizing trust, autonomy, and uninterrupted focus. They believe in small, empowered teams that take clear ownership of projects, minimizing unnecessary meetings and maximizing deep work. This environment cultivates a passion for software craftsmanship and fast execution, where every team member is a maker at heart. While remote work offers immense flexibility, Linear also fosters connection through coworking hubs in major cities and annual company-wide offsites in exciting global locations.
Under the hood, Linear is built on a robust and modern tech stack, primarily utilizing Node.js and TypeScript, with Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL handling their scalable database needs. Their architecture is designed for real-time synchronization and performance, leveraging Google Cloud and Kubernetes for efficient scaling of WebSocket servers, GraphQL APIs, and background tasks. Engineers at Linear tackle challenges related to maintaining a zero-bug policy, continuously enhancing product features, and integrating advanced AI capabilities directly into the product development workflow. They are not just building a tool; they are shaping a methodology that enables teams to deliver high-quality software with speed and precision.
If you are an impatient optimist, a maker at heart, and someone who values both intensity and kindness, Linear could be your next home. They seek individuals who are passionate about crafting exceptional software, thrive in an autonomous yet collaborative remote environment, and are eager to contribute to a product that is redefining an industry. You’ll have the opportunity to take on challenging work with a high degree of ownership, surrounded by talented individuals who share a commitment to quality and continuous improvement. Imagine yourself contributing to a company where your work directly empowers the world's best product teams to build the future, all while enjoying excellent benefits and a supportive, flexible culture.
