首席产品设计师
Principal Product Designer
在Linear，我们正在为团队和代理构建产品开发系统。人工智能正在根本性地改变软件的构建方式，而我们正在塑造这个新时代所需的工具。
自2019年成立以来，Linear已成为40,000多家公司（包括OpenAI、Coinbase和Ramp）的首选平台，用于规划、构建和发布他们的产品。如今，我们的团队分布在北美、欧洲和澳大利亚，我们仍在持续拓展国际业务。让我们团结一致的是不懈的专注力、快速的执行力以及对软件工艺的深刻关注。
质量是我们竞争的优势。我们全远程团队的每位成员都是创造者，他们非常重视工作的质量和体验。当行业只关注速度和指标时，我们认为工艺和质量具有持久的价值。质量会产生引力——它会吸引人们加入我们的团队和产品，而不是需要我们去推动。这种理念驱动着我们所做的每一件事，从产品决策到招聘选择。
对于这个职位，我们期望你具备扎实的设计能力、敏锐的产品思维以及参与技术讨论的能力。我们以小型、自主的项目团队形式工作，工程师与设计师紧密配合，探索想法、构建原型、部署内部版本，并最终将产品交付给客户。你将从项目开始到结束都发挥关键作用。
地点与工作模式
Linear是一家以远程办公为主的公司，在旧金山、纽约和伦敦设有可选的联合办公空间。此职位面向北美和欧洲的候选人开放，你可以在该地区内的任何地方工作。我们重视深度专注和异步协作，通过团队外出活动、可选的联合办公和偶尔的出差来有意地进行面对面的交流。
你将负责的工作
- 与工程和产品团队紧密合作，启动并完成路线图项目，不进行交接
- 发现重新设计或优化关键界面和流程的机会，以及在使用Linear时发现的小型质量问题和“纸张切割”问题
- 创建原型、高保真视觉效果来传达想法并描述其执行过程
- 通过协作评审正在进行的工作，指导和激励其他设计师
- 使用并改进我们轻量级的设计系统组件
- 协助招聘能够提升我们团队和产品的新人
我们寻找的人选
- 7年以上软件设计经验
- 有勇气提问、实验和尝试新方法

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 40,000 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.
Quality is our competitive advantage. Every member of our fully remote team is a maker at heart, caring deeply about the quality and feel of our work. While the industry optimizes for speed and metrics alone, we believe that craft and quality have lasting value. Quality creates gravity — it pulls people toward our team and product rather than requiring us to push. This philosophy drives everything we do, from product decisions to hiring choices.
For this role, we expect robust design skills, sharp product thinking, and the ability to engage in technical discussions. We work in small, autonomous project teams, where engineers are paired tightly with designers to explore ideas, build prototypes, deploy internal builds, and ultimately ship to customers. You will be a key element of projects from beginning to end.
Location & work mode
Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in North America and Europe. You can work from anywhere within this region. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.
What you'll do
- Pair closely with engineering and product to initiate and complete roadmap projects, no hand-offs
- Spot opportunities to redesign or refine key screens and flows, as well as smaller quality issues and “paper cuts” as you use Linear
- Create mockups, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals to communicate ideas and describe their execution
- Guide and inspire fellow designers through collaborative critique of work-in-progress
- Use and improve our lightweight design system components
- Help with hiring new teammates that can elevate our team and product
What we’re looking for
- 7+ years experience designing software
- Courage to ask questions, experiment, and advocate for what you feel is right
- Humility to accept feedback, adapt your thinking, and iterate toward the best solution
- Experience with prototyping in Figma (and beyond with tools like AI, HTML/CSS, Origami)
- Ability to distill problems and feedback, then design clear, focused solutions
- Effective written and verbal communication skills — much of our work is async
What we offer
We're a small, focused team that cares deeply about the quality of our work and the people we do it with. Here's what you can expect:
- Competitive salary and equity
- Employee-friendly equity terms including early exercise in the US and extended exercise windows
- Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday
- Paid co-working space or desk
- Health coverage (based on country requirements)
- 5 weeks paid vacation, plus local statutory holidays
- 4 months paid parental leave
- Paid month off after 4 years & every 2 years thereafter
- Regular team events and off-sites
- Remote-first with no required commute
