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 25,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America and Europe, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.
Over the past few years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth and has become the default tool of choice for many of the world’s best product teams. We are now layering a product-led sales motion on top of our existing self-serve business to further accelerate our ambitions and bring the magic of Linear to even more and larger companies. You’ll play an instrumental role in defining our enterprise sales motion, contribute to the future of our product, and help high-impact companies build better software.
