Compliance & Trust Lead

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 30,000 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.

At Linear, we hold ourselves to a commitment to quality https://linear.app/quality. To us, security is an essential part of that quality. It's not a layer that we add later, but something we build in from the start. We have a strong foundation (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and a security program we're proud of) but as Linear evolves our product and scales into enterprise, there's meaningful work ahead: keeping our compliance program current as we grow and ship fast, deepening the trust we’ve established with customers, and maturing our approach to privacy and risk. As Compliance & Trust Lead at Linear, you'll partner with our Head of Security in a high-autonomy role with real scope, ensuring the bar we set internally is one our customers can verify.

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.
