The magic of software
Computers used to be magical. But much of that magic has been lost over time, replaced by subpar tools and practices that slow teams down and hold great work back.
Frustrated with building and managing software projects in high-growth companies ourselves, we founded a company to build something better.
We named it Linear to signify progress.
The Team
Our team has led and delivered large-scale software and design projects in multiple startups and high-growth environments like Uber, Airbnb and Coinbase.

Join the Linear team
We’re creating software for teams who want to create impact. And we’re looking for passionate and impactful people to join us.
Right now we’re putting together our founding team – people who believe in the mission of building great software and want to be part of building the next-generation of tooling and practices to support that.
Linear is a distributed team, which we believe lets people live more meaningful and fulfilling lives and do better work.
We value our craft, clear communication, and taking ownership. And if you do, too, we’d love to hear from you.
