Product Manager

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 senior to staff level product manager to join the team.

In this role, you'll be responsible for leading the development of products end-to-end, from conception through development and rollout. If you're excited to have a lot of ownership while remaining in the details day to day, this might be a great fit for you.

Linear is a product-led company that focuses on both building and selling. It's up to you to bring together the building and selling sides of the company in order to create something that our customers will love.

What you'll do

• Perform up-front discovery through user interviews, competitive research, data analysis, etc. and present findings to the team with conviction and rigor
• Help engineers and designers deeply understand user needs, empowering them to make great product decisions
• Craft messaging around upcoming features that resonates with users
• Enable sales and marketing teams to effectively communicate with and win with customers

What we’re looking for

• 6+ years experience in the software industry
• Previous experience in engineering and/or design roles
• Exceptional product and operational judgement
• World-class design & product taste
• Shameless curiosity, a propensity to question things deeply
• Extreme speed and clarity

Location & work mode

Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in North America or Europe time zones. You can work from anywhere within those regions. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.

What we offer

We're a small, focused team that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we do it with. Here's what you can expect:

• Competitive salary and equity
• Employee-friendly equity terms including early exercise in the US and extended exercise windows
• Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday
• Paid co-working space or desk
• Health coverage (based on country requirements)
• 5 weeks paid vacation, plus local statutory holidays
• 4 months paid parental leave
• Paid month off after 4 years & every 2 years thereafter
• Regular team events and off-sites
