Work type: remote
Location: North America
Type: Full-time
This role is designed for high-caliber product engineers who have moved beyond the "hype" phase of AI and have experience shipping actual agentic systems to production. Linear is looking for a blend of a product-minded frontend developer and a backend architect who can handle complex real-time data synchronization. You should be someone who values "craftsmanship"—meaning you care as much about the snappiness of the UI and the elegance of the prompt logic as you do about the underlying infrastructure. As a remote-first, "North America-based" position, this role offers significant flexibility alongside a culture of deep focus and asynchronous work. The compensation is described as competitive with employee-friendly equity terms (including early exercise). Notable perks include five weeks of paid vacation, four months of parental leave, and a budget for co-working spaces, demonstrating a strong commitment to long-term work-life balance. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of building and scaling applied AI/LLM features in a production environment. * Are comfortable working across the full stack, specifically with React, Node.js, and complex data sync engines. * Prefer a "quality over quantity" approach to software, valuing speed, intuition, and opinionated design. * Enjoy high-autonomy environments where you collaborate directly with product and design to prototype new workflows.
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.
We’re looking for experienced engineers who have shipped applied AI systems to production and want to define what the agent-native future looks like. We are building intelligence into the core of Linear, enabling the product to orchestrate coding, proactively move work forward, and power-up every software team.
You’ll work closely with product and design to transform foundation models into structured, reliable workflows embedded deeply in the core of Linear. We care deeply about keeping Linear fast, intuitive, and opinionated—AI is no exception.
