On a quest
for quality

We believe that there is a lost art of building software. A craftsmanship that yields products of an exceptional, almost magical, quality.

It’s difficult to describe this quality with words and impossible to measure it in numbers, but you can feel it when it’s there. You know it when you experience it. To bring back this level of quality, we are building a tool that empowers product teams to do their best work. A tool with unparalleled speed, focus, and design.

Building this tool requires a team of talented individuals who care deeply about the quality of their work, no matter if it’s engineering, design, or customer support. We are looking for people who share our passion for software craftsmanship and getting even the smallest details right. If that sounds like you, please reach out and join us on our quest.

How we think
and work

Linear’s mission is to inspire and accelerate builders. To turn that ambition into reality, we operate based on a set of core principles that keep us focused.

  • 01.Ship early
    Simplify and ship smaller.
  • 02.Build with users
    Listen carefully and understand their problems.
  • 03.Know what good looks like
    Find and create good things. Know what needs to change to make it better.
  • 04.Think in principles
    Not in playbooks.
  • 05.Build things that last
    Put care into the foundation. Don’t make it a future person’s problem.
  • 06.Avoid side quests
    Don’t fix every problem. Avoid adding unnecessary process or documents.
  • 07.Say it as it is
    Get to the point and assume good intentions.
  • 08.Keep the team small, do more with less
    We build better with fewer people. Wear multiple hats.
  • 09.Hire the best people
    The best people hire the best people. Help recruit.
  • 10.Create fans
    Build a community of people who use, love, and defend the product.
  • 11.Fully remote
    The freedom to work remotely allows for more meaningful work.
