Everyone at @linear is a builder at heart. When the team came together in Copenhagen this year, we set out to capture what it feels like to build together across 15 countries, 10 time zones, and one shared obsession with craft.

Time to ramp up hiring at Linear. If you want to build an amazing product with an exceptional team, join us. We're a small team that cares deeply about craft and quality building a product used by the fastest growing companies in the world. Hiring full stack product engs.

@Davidv1hdo @linear We are! Check out linear.app/careers

@linear Are you currently looking for talent? If so I’d like to throw my hat in the ring

Our approach to hiring is a little different. We value slope over credentials, judgment over polish, and real work over interviews. Here’s what the process looks like: linear.app/now/how-we-hir…

We’re hiring a Developer Marketer at @linear who functions like a technical ethnographer. You will spend your time living inside the product, pushing its boundaries to discover what is truly possible. You aren't just "promoting" features, but you are discovering new use cases for our AI agent and documenting them for the market to see. If you take the job, your work won't look like traditional marketing: > You will deeply inhabit the product to find real-world workflows that teams can actually adopt > You will create walkthroughs, blog posts, and live demos where the format follows the story, not the other way around > You should be able to script, record, and edit a product demo yourself We're hiring anywhere in North America or Europe: linear.app/careers/62a452…

@cjc Alternate approach

I’m currently crawling across the floor like I’m in the CIA, trying to check under a pillow without waking the sleeping child who is 100% trying to catch me in a sting operation. The Tooth Fairy doesn't get paid enough for this level of tactical recon.

@kurtbuhler Have also found sharing live artifacts isn't available (and would be quite useful).

An example of a dashboard in a live artifacts, created in a few simple prompts. It's connected to a semantic model in Power BI, querying in DAX. Slow (fixable, it seems) but interesting results. Also seems that sharing isn't available yet for live artifacts that i can tell?

This is the number of new workspaces created on Linear from Jan 2025 through yesterday. We spent years building a system for humans to build better products. Since launching our agent platform and Linear Agent, we've seen a huge shift in both high-growth startups and the Fortune 500 adopting Linear for the first time. The way we build is changing. It's time our tools did, too.

What does a product team look like when agents handle the mechanics? We're sitting down with @tommoor (@linear), @thomaspaulmann (@raycast) & Michael Cohen (@AnthropicAI) to find out. April 30, 6–8PM @ @southpkcommons NYC RSVP → luma.com/ldp71ob2

@lennysan Yep, this tracks. Inbound feels exactly like it did in 2021/2022. Only difference is it's AI-a-palooza of course. What happened to all the revolutionary AI recruiting platforms that rendered the job obsolete?

Demand for recruiters is surging The number of open recruiter roles is almost back to 2022 peak levels. This role got hit the hardest post-Covid, and also recovered the quickest. By definition, recruiting headcount expands and contracts with hiring demand, so it’s likely a leading indication that we’re tracking toward sustained highs in hiring demand in tech.

The era of spending a few days to scope a project is officially over. Watch @TheLenaVu (yes, a human, not AI) use the Linear Agent to crawl your backlog, prioritize, draft your PRD, and assign the work. And then, turn it all into a skill you can use for next time.

If you were a technical co-founder or similar in a past life and you want to PM the future of software development come join us.

Issue tracking is dead. We are building what comes next. linear.app/next

Linear Interface Refresh A visual update designed to reduce noise and bring structure back into focus as the Linear product continues to evolve. Rolling out today.

@karrisaarinen But who is checking in on Chad?

It’s 2028. Welcome to the token economy. We realized that all software and activities can be shaped to spend tokens, which is good, because more tokens we spend, the more productive and happier we are as a society. My Openclaw agent goes to wake up the alarm agent, which then after running for 5 minutes in a new sandbox and burning 500 tokens, plays a sound to wake me up. My news agent reads all my email, including spam, crawls the web, and gives me a 5-line summary of the world. Very efficient. I get to my desk. 100 agents have been chatting all night. 10k LOC ready to merge. I tell my merge agent to press the merge button. Check my company token leaderboard. 15,000 tokens burned and I haven’t even done anything yet. I tell my manager agent to boot up my other agents. First thing they do is vibe code a Slack clone so they can post progress updates to each other. I tell them to find something to do and go to lunch. Back from lunch: Company leaderboard says 25,000 tokens burned. More than Chad. Very nice. At 80,000 tokens a day you unlock Platinum tier, which gives access to faster models that can burn tokens even faster. Agents built another 10k LOC while I was out. I don't know what it does so I tell my review agents to tear it apart, rebuild it, and merge it again. Excellent token utilization. Then I ask my social media agent to post that software engineering is dead because agents do it now. More tokens. I get hungry, so I tell Openclaw to vibe code DoorDash. We call it ClawDash. Iterate on the logo for about 5mins with my designer agent. We make the red with some lobster claws. Very appropriate. It takes 5 hours, several new agents to ping the status, and one human recruiter signing up a Mexican restaurant, but eventually my food arrives. I heat it in the microwave with a dedicated heating agent program I built for this purpose. Before bed I check the my dishwasher dashboard. My agents run through the log history since dawn of time, and tells me that it says it ran 23 hours ago, and was opened shortly after so it’s probably clean. Final leaderboard check: 81,239 tokens burned. Platinum achieved. I now have access to new models faster, which burn tokens faster, and will receive Platinium plaque in the mail. Time to wind down with some generated Fraser episodes which I tell my entertainment product agent to script, review, and finally generate. Important thing is the token burn never stops.

Very hiring and very awesome team. We will review every application.

If you are an extremely AI pilled product manager we would love to hire you. If you are an AI pilled engineer who wants to move up a layer of abstraction and become an AI pilled PM we would love to hire you.

@danielmichaelni @fchollet False on both fronts. Have seen both tested in global teams and (surprisingly to me) Zoom came out far ahead.

@fchollet Why do people still use Zoom? Google Meet is better and free

Folks at Anthropic can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Anthropic uses Slack, Zoom, Figma, Notion, Workday, and Google Workspace. Correct?

@teej_m @linear LFG TJ!

How we build software is changing. I want to be at the center of it. This week I start @Linear back to work

In January 2026 alone (the first month of our Q1), @linear added more net new revenue than in our entire first three years combined. Not every company begins with explosive growth. Consistent acceleration over time is enough for compounding to take over.
