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 tool of choice for 10,000+ 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.
We believe the best stories in technology aren't just about tools and features—they're about the people building the future, their challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned. We're looking for an exceptional writer who can uncover and craft compelling narratives that resonate deeply with builders in engineering, product, and design. Your writing will blend deep industry insights with practical wisdom, bringing fresh perspectives on the craft of building great software products.
You'll have the opportunity to tell stories that matter to our community, whether they're about Linear or not. From deep dives into engineering challenges at high-growth companies to philosophical essays about product design, from profiles of transformative technical leaders to analysis of emerging best practices in software development—you'll help create content that becomes essential reading for builders everywhere.
Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can support hiring within the US and in most European time zones for this role.
