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 40,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, 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 a Design Engineer with strong visual taste to help drive our creative initiatives across web and brand. When it comes to design and code, we’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick up any problem and solve it. For us, it’s both how it works and how it looks. At its core, Linear is a developer tool where speed, interactions, and small details matter. We expect a broad set of design skills and the ability to create high-quality designs, interactions, and prototypes.
In this role, you will help communicate Linear's story—what we're building and why it matters—as part of our internal creative agency: the Magic Team.

Linear is Fully Remote and hires within two regions: North America and Europe. Roles are posted for one region or the other, and you can work from anywhere within the region you are hired in. Some senior roles note teams that also span Australia.
Linear brings people together in person on purpose. There is an annual all-company offsite (Copenhagen in 2025, with past gatherings in Mexico City, Helsinki, and Lisbon), plus smaller team meetups and occasional travel. Optional co-working hubs give people a place to work alongside teammates when they want one, with no requirement to use them.
Every employee gets equity. Linear offers employee-friendly terms: a 10-year post-termination exercise window, early exercise in the US, and equity refreshers over time. Alongside its Series C, the company ran a tender offer so current and former teammates could sell a portion of their vested options at the same $1.25B valuation as investors.
Linear offers at least five weeks of paid vacation a year plus local statutory holidays, and four months of paid parental leave. After four years, employees get a paid month off, and another every two years after that. These recharge sabbaticals are part of the company's Linear Infinity program.
Linear uses work trials as part of hiring, giving candidates a chance to do real work with the team rather than relying on interviews alone. The company hires deliberately and has kept its team small on purpose.
Linear suits people who care about craft and quality. The team describes itself as makers at heart with a shared respect for uninterrupted focus, and its principles emphasize shipping early, knowing what good looks like, and building things that last. If you value autonomy, taste, and written clarity over process and playbooks, it is a strong match.
