Senior / Staff Security Engineer

Linear

Remote · North AmericaSalary not disclosedfull-timeLinear Careers

At Linear, we are committed to quality. Security is an essential part of that quality — not a layer that we add later, but something we build in from the start.

Responsibilities

  • Depending on your experience / skillset and our broader priorities, you could
  • Operate, automate, and extend vulnerability management end-to-end: triage, prioritize, and drive remediation across product, infrastructure, and dependencies, and keep the program’s SLAs meaningful rather than theoretical
  • Run our bug bounty program: triage incoming reports, validate severity, work with engineering on fixes, and keep researcher relationships professional and responsive
  • Lead product security testing: threat model new features (including AI/agent-facing surfaces), review designs and code for security-relevant risk, and do hands-on testing (manual and tool-assisted) rather than relying solely on scanners
  • Be a primary responder for security incidents: lead investigation and containment, drive postmortems, and turn lessons into concrete hardening work
  • Own meaningful chunks of our cloud/infra security posture on GCP/k8s/Postgres: harden configurations, close gaps surfaced by audits or scanning, and partner with infra engineering on secure defaults
  • Build and maintain security tooling and automation, including using AI/LLM tooling to speed up triage, code review, and repetitive investigation work, so the program scales without linear headcount growth
  • Partner with the GRC/Trust function: feed real findings into the risk register and control evidence, and help make sure compliance requirements reflect actual engineering practice
