Product Support Specialist @ Linear

Overview

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 platform of choice for 15,000+ companies to plan and 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 and Europe (we hire within US/EU timezones). 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.

Over the past years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth and has become an instrumental tool for many of the world’s best product teams. We believe customer support should always feel like an extension of that experience. As a Product Support Specialist at Linear, you’ll contribute to the future of our product by surfacing customer feedback and insights, contributing to our technical documentation, and engaging a technical customer community via social channels.

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