Senior Fullstack Engineer (JavaScript/TypeScript)

As a small team, we’re all generalists and constantly picking up new challenges. When it comes to code, we’re looking to work with experienced people who can pick a problem and solve it.

What you'll do

At Linear, you’ll get to work on a multitude of different things. Some of the work you might be tackling includes:

• Building new user-facing features with everything from database models to GraphQL resolvers and UI components
• Optimizing our data synchronization stack by applying better serialization protocols
• Adding real-time collaborative editing to our content editor
• Improving performance by profiling and tweaking virtualized list rendering
• Adding analytics, monitoring, and alerts to our service so that we can better respond to operational incidents
• Open-sourcing any non-trivial innovations that come out of our work on the product
• Redefining best-in-class software development processes so that we can build an opinionated product

Tech

We use TypeScript and build scalable systems so we can continuously make progress on a solid foundation. We don’t expect you to have a background in everything we use, but we do expect strong JavaScript fundamentals and a background working with React, and ideally TypeScript.

Our stack in brief:

• React frontend with Styled Components, utilizing hooks for the composability of functionality
• Proprietary data synchronization library built for speed and offline support. Delta-packets are transported using WebSockets
• MobX for binding the data model to the UI
• Prosemirror-based content editor
• Electron desktop application
• Public GraphQL API that has access to all of the user's data
• Node, Postgres and Redis in the backend
• Hosted on Google Cloud with k8s
• GitHub, Slack, Notion
• Design system with React component library

We care deeply about design. For us, it’s both how it works and how it looks. At its core, Linear is a developer tool where speed, interactions, and small details matter. We are designing it to be highly functional, yet minimalistic and delightful.

If you're a software engineer with years of experience we would like to hear from you. Now that you know about us, we would like to learn more about you. Send us a message with information you think is relevant.
