Senior / Staff Software Engineer (API)

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. As a small team, we’re all generalists and constantly picking up new challenges. Regarding systems and infrastructure, we’re looking to work with experienced engineers who can dive deep into design and performance problems, architect robust backend services, and build foundational APIs that scale. Our stack is built with TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and PostgreSQL. We don’t expect you to have worked with everything we use, but we do expect a strong systems thinking mindset and solid backend engineering experience. 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.
