## Job description

At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. 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.

In this role, you will serve as the primary technical partner for our most strategic prospects and customers. You’ll play a dual role: driving complex technical engagements through end-to-end demos, migrations, and integrations, and accelerating ramp for new sales hires by codifying best practices. You will showcase our product’s value to prospects, uncover challenges and architect tailored solutions, drive successful sales evaluations, and champion customer needs internally.

Location & work mode

Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in North America. You can work from anywhere within this region. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.

## What you’ll do

- Articulate Linear’s architecture, data model, and integration patterns to engineering and product teams; deliver tailored technical presentations and deep-dive demos for key stakeholders.
- Design, plan, and execute large-scale migrations, custom configurations, and API integrations; troubleshoot proactively to ensure seamless onboarding.
- Build and maintain realistic demo instances that mirror enterprise workflows, scale tests, and feature toggles—enabling sales reps to showcase Linear’s capabilities in context.
- Collaborate with Sales Enablement to develop technical training materials, run “train-the-trainer” sessions for new hires, and curate a library of exemplar solution playbooks.
- Act as the go-to technical resource for high-priority accounts; work alongside Customer Success to resolve post-sale technical issues and drive adoption.

## What we’re looking for

- 2+ years in a Solutions Engineering, Pre-Sales, or similar role at a high-growth SaaS company, with experience supporting enterprise-scale deals.
- Strong hands-on experience with OAuth2 and GraphQL, data migrations, and product integrations
- Excellent communication skills—able to present complex technical concepts clearly to both engineers and executives
- Experience with Github and git; Linear and/or Jira strongly preferred
- Proven ability to build realistic, scalable demo environments and troubleshoot production issues
- CS degree or engineering background strongly preferred
- Collaborative mindset with experience partnering across Sales, Product, and Customer Success teams
- Comfort with SQL and scripting (e.g., Python or JavaScript)

## What we offer

We're a small, focused team that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we do it with. Here's what you can expect:

- Competitive salary and equity
- Employee-friendly equity terms including early exercise in the US and extended exercise windows
- Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday
- Paid co-working space or desk
- Health coverage (based on country requirements)
- 5 weeks paid vacation, plus local statutory holidays
- 4 months paid parental leave
- Paid month off after 4 years & every 2 years thereafter
- Regular team events and off-sites
- Remote-first with no required commute

## About Linear

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Linear builds a purpose-built product development system for modern teams and AI agents to plan, build, and ship software with high speed and quality.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B)
- **Headquarters**: Fully remote, team distributed across North America and Europe (no single physical HQ)
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Karri Saarinen (CEO) and Tuomas Artman (CTO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Software development tools / Product management / AI-assisted development
- Target customers: B2B – product teams of all sizes from ambitious startups to major enterprises (over 33,000 teams, including OpenAI, Coinbase, Ramp)
- Mission: “To inspire and accelerate builders” – operates on principles like ship early, build with users, keep the team small, and create fans.

## Products & Services
- **Linear Platform**: The core SaaS product – an issue tracker, project management, and product planning tool. 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.”
