at Linear
Linear is seeking an experienced fullstack engineer to help shape the next generation of product development tools in an AI-driven world. You'll join a distributed team of 25,000+ companies (OpenAI, Coinbase, Ramp) who trust Linear to streamline their build process. If you thrive solving complex technical challenges end-to-end—from database architecture to polished UIs—and want to work alongside craftspeople who prioritize execution and code quality, this remote-first opportunity offers the autonomy and impact you're looking for.
Linear is evolving how teams plan and ship software. In this role, you'll own full-stack projects that span multiple layers of our platform. Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing user-facing features across our entire tech stack, architecting improvements to our data sync layer using advanced serialization techniques, and enhancing our collaborative editing capabilities with real-time functionality. You'll drive performance gains through profiling and optimization of rendering systems, establish observability through analytics and monitoring infrastructure, and contribute to industry best practices by open-sourcing impactful work. We're looking for someone with strong JavaScript fundamentals and production experience with React and TypeScript. You should be comfortable moving between domains—whether that's GraphQL APIs, database schema design, or frontend component development—and have a track record of shipping quality software. Familiarity with our specific tech stack isn't required, but intellectual curiosity and solid engineering judgment are non-negotiable. You'll work asynchronously across a distributed team with periodic in-person moments to align on strategy and build relationships.
