Linear
Linear makes project and issue tracking software for product development teams, combining workflow automation, AI features and a focus on performance and design.
Linear is a software company that makes project and issue tracking tools for product development teams. Founded in 2019, it sells a platform of the same name that covers the whole product development process, from issue tracking to workflow automation, and that has evolved from a simple tracker into a system designed for what it calls the AI era. The company says its software is used by more than 20,000 companies across the software development, technology, startup and enterprise sectors.
The product combines a carefully designed user interface with an emphasis on speed and performance engineering; the firm's stated aim is to serve teams that care about quality. Technical work at the company spans project management software, issue tracking, workflow automation, AI workflows and UI/UX design. Recent development has focused on integrating AI workflows with human collaboration inside the tool.
Linear has been fully remote since it was founded and remains a small team, distributed across North America and Europe. The company describes its culture in terms of relentless focus, fast execution and a passion for software craftsmanship, and it maintains a global customer base alongside its presence in those two regions.
