At Linear, we are on a mission is to inspire and accelerate builders. To help teams do their best work, we are creating a purpose-built tool for planning and building products that combines elegant UI with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the tool of choice for 10,000+ companies.

Quality is our competitive advantage. Every member of our fully remote team is a maker at heart, caring deeply about the quality and feel of our work. While the industry optimizes for speed and metrics alone, we believe that craft and quality have lasting value. Quality creates gravity — it pulls people toward our team and product rather than requiring us to push. This philosophy drives everything we do, from product decisions to hiring choices.

For this role, we expect robust design skills, sharp product thinking, and the ability to engage in technical discussions. We work in small, autonomous project teams, where engineers are paired tightly with designers to explore ideas, build prototypes, deploy internal builds, and ultimately ship to customers. You will be a key element of projects from beginning to end.

Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can only support hiring within North America and Canada for this role.

What you'll do

  • Pair closely with engineering and product to initiate and complete roadmap projects, no hand-offs

  • Spot opportunities to redesign or refine key screens and flows, as well as smaller quality issues and “paper cuts” as you use Linear

  • Create mockups, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to communicate ideas and describe their execution

  • Guide and inspire fellow designers through collaborative critique of work-in-progress

  • Use and improve our lightweight design system components

  • Help with hiring new teammates that can elevate our team and product

What we’re looking for

  • 7+ years experience designing software

  • Courage to ask questions, experiment, and advocate for what you feel is right

  • Humility to accept feedback, adapt your thinking, and iterate toward the best solution

  • Experience with prototyping in Figma (and beyond with tools like AI, HTML/CSS, Origami)

  • Ability to distill problems and feedback, then design clear, focused solutions

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills — much of our work is async

What we offer

  • A team of the most talented people you will ever work with

  • Engaging work that will challenge you

  • Balance and flexibility through remote work

  • Competitive salary and equity (including early and extended exercise)

  • Paid lunch and coffee during workdays

  • Paid co-working space/desk at an office

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (US)

  • Regular team events and off-sites

  • 5 weeks of paid vacation

  • 4 months of paid parental leave
