Company mission

Granola's mission is to build the context-aware workspace of the future.

Role

Who you are

  • You love working in a startup environment (you either have experience working in a startup or are really drawn to the zero-to-one phase)
  • You have 4+ years of relevant engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies
  • You're proficient with TypeScript, Node, and React (Tailwind and Radix is a strong plus)
  • You value working with people who are kind, ambitious and pragmatic

Desirable

  • Interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
  • Experience managing cloud infrastructure (we use AWS and Terraform)

What the job involves

  • Own the development of new user-facing features end-to-end. Things like: image support for our text editor, multiplayer features, or integrations with other tools
  • Optimize the application for speed, scale, and reliability
  • Interact with users to understand their problems and design solutions
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, designers, and other members of the team to create a cutting-edge product

Application process

  • Apply through Otta or send us an email
  • First call with Vas, our CTO
  • Second call with one of our founders, Chris or Sam
  • Remote technical interview
  • Come spend a day in person with us: whiteboarding, 1 on 1s, project time, and lots of time to get a feel for what it's like to work together

Our take

Anyone who's tried coding in a modern code editor (an integrated development environment, or IDE) would balk at the idea of trying to use a basic text editor for coding. However, knowledge workers typically use a simple text editor for just about everything. Until now it's been difficult to do much about this, but large language models have recently advanced to the point where it should be possible for a tool to understand the context of any writing activity and anticipate the next steps for the user.

Granola, a London startup, is seeking to make this context-aware editor, building AI into text editing tools to augment the abilities of its users in the same way an IDE does for a coder. As something like VS Code crossed with Copilot, but for knowledge work, its solution will draw on the wider context of a workplace (not just the contents of the current document but also planned meetings, notes, emails and other information) to help with the task at hand.

The company is currently pre-product and is rounding out its founding team. With a second-time founding team (one of the founders' previous startups was acquired by Google) and plenty of support from investors who believe in the product direction (including Lightspeed Ventures, the co-founder of Instagram and former Facebook and Google talent), it will be exciting to see how Granola delivers on its vision over the coming months and years.
