AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 40,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship. We’re looking for a Designer with strong visual taste to help scale Linear’s creative work across web, brand, and marketing. You’ll create polished, high-quality designs across a wide range of surfaces — from landing pages and ad campaigns to sales decks and launch materials — helping bring Linear’s visual language to life everywhere people experience our brand. When it comes to design, we’re looking to work with people who can pick up any problem and solve it. For us, it’s both how it works and how it looks. At its core, Linear is a developer tool where speed, interactions, and small details matter. We expect a broad set of design skills and the ability to create high-quality designs, interactions, and prototypes.

Features include AI-powered agents (Linear Agent) for autonomous issue routing and coding, Linear Diffs for structured code review, roadmaps, PRDs, analytics, and team documents. Designed to reduce noise and restore momentum for teams shipping with high velocity. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available – “Linear is small and profitable, and we intend to keep it that way.” - **Key Metric**: Profitable; powers over 33,000 product teams (as of mid-2026). - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Backed by Accel (Miles Clements, partner) and Sequoia (Stephanie Zhan, partner). Angel investors include Dylan Field (Figma CEO), Patrick Collison (Stripe CEO), Stewart Butterfield (ex-Slack CEO), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel CEO), and many others from Y Combinator, design, and technology leadership. - **Growth Signals**: Continued hiring across engineering, sales, customer success, design, and operations; expanding AI capabilities (Linear Agent, MCP support); remains profitably small by design. ## Competitive Advantages - **Quality obsession**: Linear emphasizes craft, attention to detail, and building things that last – a “lost art” they aim to restore. - **Fully remote, small-team autonomy**: No OKRs or A/B tests; decisions come from taste, customer insight, and direct judgment. - **AI-native architecture**: Purpose-built for workflows shared by humans and agents, with early integration of code intelligence and agent-assisted development. - **Selective hiring culture**: Paid work trials ensure mutual fit; focus on slope (growth) over credentials. - **Strong community of fans**: “Build a community of people who use, love, and defend the product.” ## Strategic Focus - Continue to evolve Linear into “a new species of product tool” for the AI era, integrating agents deeper into planning, coding, and review workflows. - Maintain high quality and small team size while scaling customer base internationally. - Grow go-to-market teams (account executives, solutions engineers) in North America and Europe. ## Why Work Here - **Remote-first**: “Fully remote” with team distributed across North America and Europe – no central office, minimal process overhead. - **Autonomy & ownership**: Small teams with clear ownership; individuals shape direction, talk to users, and own problems end-to-end. - **Craft culture**: Engineers and designers who care deeply about quality and detail thrive here. - **Hiring process**: Transparent, fast (4–6 weeks), paid work trials as final stage, honest feedback, and direct communication about compensation and equity. - **Perks & vibe**: Profitable, stable, and focused on building rather than managing; “fewer meetings, less check-in points, and more autonomy than most companies offer.” ## Sources 1.
