Senior Counsel at Linear

This constitutes a unique opportunity for an experienced legal generalist to join a high-growth startup as its first in-house hire. The ideal candidate has over 8 years of experience, likely starting in a top-tier law firm before moving into a scaling Series B–D tech company. You should be comfortable operating as a "department of one," balancing high-level strategy with hands-on tasks like drafting enterprise MSAs and managing cap tables. Linear offers a remote-first culture that prioritizes "deep focus" and craftsmanship over constant meetings. While the salary isn't disclosed, the package includes employee-friendly equity terms, five weeks of vacation, and unique perks like a monthly stipend for co-working and a "sabbatical" month off every two years. You'll have significant influence, working directly with founders to build the legal framework for AI-driven products. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience navigating the legal and privacy complexities of AI and data handling. * Are a "pragmatic" lawyer who knows how to move quickly without compromising essential protections. * Can independently manage diverse areas ranging from international HR compliance to trademark law. * Enjoy the autonomy of a remote role and prefer async collaboration over a traditional office environment.
