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 50,000 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 the default tool of choice 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 further accelerate our ambitions 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.

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
Highly autonomous with a bias for action. Owner’s mindset to quickly come up to speed on product, market, ICP, and unique differentiators

Competitive salary and equity
Employee-friendly equity terms
Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday
Health coverage (based on country requirements)
