Issue tracking that became the benchmark for product craft in SaaS.
Linear is what happens when a designer founds a company. CEO Karri Saarinen is a designer by background, and it shows in every pixel. Linear famously has no PM team — designers and engineers work directly together. The company has become synonymous with "taste" in software, inspiring countless startups to care more about craft. If you want to work somewhere where design isn't just valued but is the entire competitive advantage, this is it.
Design Leadership
4 open design roles
Europe, North America
Linear has set the gold standard for product design tools, with an interface so polished it makes other productivity software look amateur. Their Web & Brand Designer role means working on the visual identity and web presence of the company that's teaching everyone else how software should feel.
Europe
Linear is the rare product where the design team has shaped the standard for an entire category — issue tracking that finally feels good. The hiring bar is famously high and the team is kept small on purpose. If craft, motion, and detail are your love languages, this is the room.
North America
Linear is the gold standard for taste in developer tools, and their web presence is a masterclass in restrained, beautiful design. This role shapes how one of the most admired brands in tech presents itself to the world. For designers who obsess over craft and details.
North America
Linear represents the pinnacle of product design craft—their interface is studied by designers everywhere for its perfect balance of power and elegance. This senior design role means joining the team that's literally defining what best-in-class product design looks like in 2024.
