About This RoleAI processing…

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 25,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America and Europe, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.

Over the past few years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth globally and has become the default tool of choice for many of the world’s best product teams. We are now expanding into APAC and hiring our first sales rep in the region to accelerate growth with some of the world’s most innovative product and engineering teams. You will be the tip of the spear for Linear in APAC—building pipeline from a strong PLG foundation, shaping the regional go-to-market, and helping us learn how to serve APAC customers at scale. This is a rare opportunity to build a new market with a category-defining product and a globally recognized brand.

Key Responsibilities

  • 1

    Serve as the voice of the APAC customer internally, identifying blockers to adoption or scale
  • 5
    Help build the foundation of Linear’s sales motion in APAC—playbooks, processes, tooling, regional feedback loops
  • 6
    Represent Linear in the region as an ambassador of our craft-driven, customer-obsessed culture

Requirements

  • 4+ years in a quota-carrying SaaS sales role
  • Experience selling to technical audiences (engineering, product, IT); extra credit for developer tools or collaboration platforms
  • Proven success driving net-new business in a new or emerging market
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment; highly autonomous, resourceful, and proactive
  • Strong discovery skills and ability to articulate value and ROI to executive buyers
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and product demo skills
  • Ability to work across global time zones and collaborate asynchronously
  • Bilingual proficiency preferred; English and at least one major Asian language (e.g. Japanese, Korean)
