Location requirements
At Linear, we are on a mission to bring magic back to software. To empower product teams to do their best work, we are building an issue tracking and project management tool that combines UI elegance with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for 20,000+ companies to plan and build their products.
Linear was set up as a fully remote company from the start. Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work.
We are now looking for experienced engineers that have built and deployed AI systems to production to help us design and build native AI features that elevate our core product. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering teams to craft seamless AI-powered experiences, such as vector-powered search, proactive suggestions, and agentic systems. We care deeply about keeping Linear fast, intuitive, and opinionated—AI is no exception.
Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can only support hiring within North America for this role.
What you'll do
Build AI-powered product features that feel native, fast, and delightful to use
Work with product and design to prototype and iterate on intelligent workflows and user interactions
Design backend services to power natural language interfaces, smart suggestions, agentic workloads, and more
Optimize prompts, fine-tune model behavior, and evaluate performance
Help to guide our agent platform, allowing third parties to bring agents into the core Linear experience as teammates.
Contribute to the architecture for AI-integration infrastructure that’s reliable and privacy-aware
