LinearWorldwidePosted May 20remote
via Ashby

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.

Over the past few years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth and has become an instrumental tool for many of the world’s best product teams. We are now layering a product-led sales motion on top of our existing self-serve business to accelerate our ambitions further and bring the magic of Linear to even more and larger companies. As an Account Executive at Linear, you’ll contribute to the future of our product and help high-impact companies build better software.

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. You can work from anywhere within this region. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.

  • Be the voice of the customer; advocate for customers by surfacing product or adoption blockers to our product team

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years in a quota-carrying sales role

  • Experience selling to a technical audience; bonus if you have previous experience working with a collaboration or developer tool

  • SaaS and startup experience; comfortable working and adapting in a fast-paced and flexible environment

  • Strong written and verbal communication, presentation, and product demonstration skills

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

  • Remote-first with no required commute
