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 doPair closely with engineering and product to initiate and complete roadmap projects, no hand-offsSpot opportunities to redesign or refine key screens and flows, as well as smaller quality issues and “paper cuts” as you use LinearCreate mockups, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to communicate ideas and describe their executionGuide and inspire fellow designers through collaborative critique of work-in-progressUse and improve our lightweight design system componentsHelp with hiring new teammates that can elevate our team and productWhat we’re looking for7+ years experience designing softwareCourage to ask questions, experiment, and advocate for what you feel is rightHumility to accept feedback, adapt your thinking, and iterate toward the best solutionExperience with prototyping in Figma (and beyond with tools like AI, HTML/CSS, Origami)Ability to distill problems and feedback, then design clear, focused solutionsEffective written and verbal communication skills — much of our work is asyncWhat we offerA team of the most talented people you will ever work withEngaging work that will challenge youBalance and flexibility through remote workCompetitive salary and equity (including early and extended exercise)Paid lunch and coffee during workdaysPaid co-working space/desk at an officeHealth, dental, and vision insurance (US)Regular team events and off-sites5 weeks of paid vacation4 months of paid parental leaveLearn how we think and workPart I and Part II of how we redesigned the Linear UIRead mea story about our missionWhy and how we do work trialsLinear blog postHow we structure our product teamstalk by our Head of Product, Nan Yu, at Config 2024Crafting quality that enduresConfig keynote by our Co-founder & CEO, Karri SaarinenBuilding for quality: Our Investment in LinearAccel Series B blog postOriginally posted on Himalayas
