Powering the world’s best product teams.
The Role

At Linear, we are on a mission to create a new standard for modern software development. We are building the tools that empower the next generation of high-impact companies to do their best work. Linear is designed based on the practices and processes that distinguish world-class product teams from the rest: relentless focus, fast execution, and a commitment to the quality of craft.

Founded in 2019, Linear has become the default tool of choice for high-performance teams to build their products. Set up as a fully remote company from the start, our team is currently distributed across a variety of countries across the US, Latin America and Europe (we hire within US/EU timezones). We are a diverse team of individuals, all makers at heart. We love picking up new challenges and care deeply about the quality of our work.

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.

Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer and remote-only company. At this time, we can only support hiring within the US for this role.

  • Generate a strong pipeline and exceed quarterly targets

  • Build relationships with key stakeholders within accounts

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

Requirements

  • 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 Do

We believe that there is a lost art of building software. A craftsmanship that yields products of an exceptional, almost magical, quality. It’s difficult to describe this quality with words and impossible to measure it in numbers, but you can feel it when it’s there. You know it when you experience it.

To bring back this level of quality, we are building a tool that empowers product teams to do their best work. A tool with unparalleled speed, focus, and design.

Why Work With Us

Our mission requires a team of talented individuals who care deeply about the quality of their work, no matter if it’s engineering, design, or customer support. We are looking for people who share our passion for software craftsmanship and getting even the smallest details right.
