Product Engineer

## About the Role As a product engineer at Linear, you will be part of a small, focused team that is shaping the future of product development. You will work closely with founders, product, and design teams to implement new concepts and ideas, building AI-powered functionality into the core of Linear. The company is committed to creating a culture of autonomy and individual responsibility, where engineers are empowered to take ownership of their work and drive results.

The role is based in North America, and you will have the flexibility to work from anywhere within this region. Linear values deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel. This approach allows engineers to work efficiently and effectively, while also maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Linear has become the platform of choice for over 25,000 companies, including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp, to plan, build, and ship their products. The company is founded on the principles of relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship. As a product engineer, you will be part of a team that is passionate about building high-quality software that meets the needs of its users.
