Senior / Staff Fullstack Engineer

As a small team, we’re all generalists that work across the full stack (built in Typescript end-to-end). We’re looking for experienced engineers that thrive in an environment of autonomy and individual responsibility to help us build the future of product development.

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 the US and Europe. 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 you'll do

• Build new user-facing features with everything from database models to GraphQL resolvers and UI components
• Optimize our data synchronization stack by applying better serialization protocols
• Add real-time collaborative editing to our content editor
• Improve performance by profiling and tweaking virtualized list rendering
• Add analytics, monitoring, and alerts to our service so that we can better respond to operational incidents
• Open-source any non-trivial innovations that come out of our work on the product
• Redefine best-in-class software development processes so that we can build a purpose-built product.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of experience building customer-facing products at a high-quality software company
• Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals, with experience across the full stack (Browser technologies, Node, GraphQL, PostgreSQL)
• Track record of driving complex, end-to-end features (not just incremental improvements and refactors) with visible impact on the product
• Product sensibility: you care about UX, speed, and polish, and you push back when something doesn't feel right
• Comfortable working without heavy PM overhead; you can help to shape the problem, not just implement a solution
• High ownership mentality: self-directed, full-lifecycle builder who takes a feature from idea to shipped
• Thrives in a remote, async-first environment with a lean, high-output team
• Experience at a startup or a company with a genuinely high engineering bar
