Product Support Specialist, APAC

At Linear, we are on a mission to bring magic back to software. To empower product teams to do their best work, we are building an issue tracking and project management tool that combines UI elegance with world-class performance. Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for 20,000+ companies to plan and build their products.

Linear was set up as a fully remote company from the start. Today, our small but mighty team is distributed across North America and Europe. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and our passion for software craftsmanship. We are all makers at heart and care deeply about the quality of our work.

Over the past years, Linear has experienced incredible organic growth and has become an instrumental tool for many of the world’s best product teams. We believe customer support should always feel like an extension of that experience. As a Product Support Specialist at Linear, you’ll contribute to the future of our product by surfacing customer feedback and insights, contributing to our technical documentation, and engaging a technical customer community via social channels.

We are now expanding into APAC and hiring our first Go To Market team members in the region to accelerate growth with some of the world's most innovative product and engineering teams. Hiring our first Customer Experience team member in Australia will enable us to support our growing customer base in APAC in their own timezone, deepening our relationships and setting us up to scale successfully across the region. This is a rare opportunity to be the tip of the spear in a new market and help us learn how to serve APAC customers at scale.

What you’ll do

• Support customers in end-to-end engagement, including onboarding, account setup, debugging issues, feature and integration discovery
• Drive Linear’s expansion into APAC as one of our first hires in-region
• Investigate and resolve inbound customer issues reported through all communication channels, including email, in-app, Slack, Twitter, and Reddit

What we’re looking for

• Passion about technology, quality, and Linear’s mission
• Excellent communication and customer service skills and experience working with a technical or engineering user base. Ability to adapt your communication approach to non-technical users.
• Experience troubleshooting technical issues, including APIs and integration setups. Ability to reproduce bugs with Linear and our integrations in various environments (different browsers, Windows, Mac, Mobile).
• End-to-end ownership and autonomy in a mostly async, multi–time zone environment
• Bilingual proficiency preferred; English and at least one major Asian language (e.g. Japanese, Korean)
• Familiarity with SQL, Javascript, APIs, and GitHub is a plus. If you don’t have direct experience in these areas, curiosity to learn more is desirable as well. Please note that this is not a product engineering role.
