If you are an engineer, and you are pretty sure you're a better product person than most or all of the PMs you've worked with, we would like to hire you at Linear. Apply on the website and mention this tweet and we will make sure we get to your application quickly
Many roles on EPD open https://linear.app/careers
If you've ever thought "I wish issue trackers had this feature" just come and build it. This is software you've used your entire career
In fact, mention what you want to build in your application and I will review every feature request personally and give you a response.
https://x.com/IamJoshJackson/s... Something that we all need to recognize is that engineers end up making 50%+ of the product decisions by volume. There's no practical way PMs and designers can specify every single edge case, all the subtleties of the look and feel and interactions.
@thenanyu Can you check my cv and tell me if you see fit for designer or design engineer role? https://serg-cv.vercel.app/
@serglotz Apply to the product engineering role, and let's find out.
@thenanyu compelling pitch but man I hate issue trackers
@lurklaughlaunch Come make one that you don’t hate
@thenanyu PMs if you want to know which engineers resent you, just look for your teammates in these comments
@thenanyu What is Linear's competitive moat if AI can write ticketing software in the next 12 months>
@PatrickKavanagh AI can write ticketing software today. I know because we use AI to write code.
@MatSilva Yes we would like to capture all of the good product engineers and pay them money and equity
@thenanyu So want Linear to start considering candidates from India too. I do have a product sense which can align well with the product’s craftsmanship.
@Lakbychance I would love to have Asian time zones, but we're just honestly not big enough to manage that yet.
@thenanyu This is written in good faith I am sure. But if you have ever worked with an engineer who thought they were a better product person than all the PMs, you know how delulu they can be. It's usually either a very junior engineer or an irritating my-way-or-the-highway kinda person.
@rahulj51 Some of them are delulu, but some of them are right.
@thenanyu can't i just dm u my resume + github?
@kautilya_p Are you an engineer? I'm not the first touch for engineering hiring.
@thenanyu “As the head of product, I want to hire product engineers who look down on PMs so I get the most opinionated engineer who doesn’t work well with other PMs.”
@ferrants Is that what I said?
@thenanyu Why do you use styled components at Linear?
@MorganFeeney @kenneth_skovhus just removed them
@thenanyu So many engineers feel this but rarely say it out loud. Sometimes the best product vision comes from those deep in the tech trenches. Honestly, mixing those hats leads to stronger teams.
@thenanyu I like my PMs and think they’re better than me at their role.
