## Job description

Hey! We’re team Granola 👋 If you haven’t already, you should check out [what we’re building](https://www.granola.ai/), and [why you should work here](https://www.granola.ai/jobs). We’re looking for a Design Engineer to own how Granola shows up on the web and help people understand what it can do, what makes it special, and how to get started. You’ll combine strong design instincts with front-end engineering skills, taking ideas from early exploration through to a live website. Your work will shape how people first encounter Granola, bringing the care and personality of our product to the pages that introduce it. We want to build one of the best websites in the industry. That means making Granola’s story clear, giving every interaction care and attention, and building the foundations that let us keep improving as we grow.

In this role, you will:

- Own the website’s development. Help set its direction, identify opportunities and take responsibility for the quality of what ships. Continuously improve the site’s SEO, performance and accessibility, keeping it fast, discoverable and easy for everyone to use.
- Push what a website can be. Set an ambitious creative and technical bar, and make Granola’s website one of the best product marketing experiences on the internet.
- Bring Granola’s story to life. Work with marketing and design on the homepage, feature pages, enterprise pages and other experiences that explain our product.
- Keep the everyday experience improving. Give navigation, pricing, calls to action and smaller updates the same attention as major launches.
- Build the infrastructure to help us move faster. Develop reusable components, page templates and CMS workflows that make publishing straightforward across the team.
- Support experimentation. Build campaign landing pages and enable A/B testing, using what we learn to improve the site.

Your background looks something like:

- Experience designing and building websites, with work you can show us that demonstrates both visual judgement and technical ability.
- Highly proficient with React, TypeScript, Tailwind and have a solid grasp of modern frontend architecture.
- Confidence taking work from an initial idea into production.
- An eye for typography, layout, hierarchy and interaction - and an understanding of how those choices help communication.
- Comfort exploring ideas in design tools and code, choosing whichever helps you make progress.
- Experience with reusable components, content management or publishing workflows.
- An interest in websites as a creative discipline: helping people understand a product and giving them a reason to try it.

## How you work

You enjoy taking ownership, bringing ideas and following them through. You can move between a substantial redesign and a small improvement, applying judgement about where extra polish will make the biggest difference. You’re comfortable collaborating with marketing, design and product colleagues, asking good questions about a brief and helping shape the solution.

## About the opportunity

We are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since [Engelbart's demo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos) in 1968. We want to assemble the best crew to build this future together, here in London. Our compensation philosophy is to pay slightly above market on salary and above market on equity. We do our best work in person, and so our team spends time together five days per week in our new, bright, and spacious office at Old Street. We are happy to offer relocation assistance to candidates who'll be moving to London to join us. Lastly, we think amazing talent comes from all kinds of life journeys and experiences. If what is written above speaks to you, whether you look like a fit on paper or not, please reach out.

## About Granola

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Granola is an AI-powered meeting notepad that runs locally on a user’s device, transcribing and generating structured notes from meetings without requiring a visible bot to join the call.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series C)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Chris Pedregal (CEO) and Sam Stephenson (CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: AI-powered productivity software, Meeting Intelligence, Enterprise AI Context Layer
- **Target customers**: Primarily B2B — serving knowledge workers in sales, legal, executive functions, and enterprise teams. Named customers include Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, Asana, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, and Mistral AI.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build tools that help humans better" — the company’s goal is to make meetings more productive without intruding on human connection.

## Products & Services
- **Granola (Core Product)**: An AI notepad for back-to-back meetings. It runs locally on macOS and Windows, captures audio from the user’s computer without a bot joining the call, and uses meeting context (calendar, past notes) to generate Notion-style notes, action items, and follow-ups. Available for iPhone as well.
- **Granola Chat**: Lets users query their entire conversation history using Claude, GPT, or Gemini.
- **Spaces**: Team-oriented feature for organizing, sharing, and searching contextual notes across meetings and channels.
- **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server**: An API layer that allows other AI tools to query Granola’s meeting context, positioning it as a "context layer" for agentic AI workflows.
- **Enterprise API**: SSO, SCIM, and consent-based data management for large organizations. The core product is free for unlimited meeting notes (notes older than 30 days require an upgrade).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: $1.5 billion (Series C, March 2026 — a sixfold increase from its $250 million valuation less than a year prior)
- **Total Funding**: Over $192 million ($67M prior to Series C, plus $125M Series C)
- **Key Metric**: High engagement and viral growth within companies — product-market fit described as "genuine" by users
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures (led Series C), Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, Betaworks, Firstminute Capital, and angel investors including Mike Krieger (Instagram), David Lieb (YC Partner), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Amjad Masad (Replit), Tobi Lutke (Shopify), Karri Saarinen (Linear), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny's Newsletter), Des Traynor (Intercom), Soleio, and Charlie Songhurst.
- **Growth Signals**: Rapid valuation growth (6x in under a year), explicit enterprise pivot with a robust API, MCP server, and large named enterprise customer base.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Stealth recording (no bot)**: Granola is the only major meeting intelligence tool that captures audio from the user’s computer rather than sending a visible bot into the call — a key differentiator for professionals who find bots intrusive.
- **Context-layer strategy**: By offering an MCP server and APIs, Granola positions itself as a cross-platform "memory" for all AI agents and tools, rather than a siloed note-taking app.
- **High user love & viral growth**: Users report genuine product-market fit, with the product spreading virally within companies.
- **Strong design and product thinking**: Founded by a design-led team in London, with deep experience in product and engineering.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enterprise expansion**: The $125M Series C is explicitly earmarked for building out enterprise features (SSO, SCIM, consent-based data management) and winning large organizations.
- **Agentic AI integration**: Granola is investing heavily in becoming the "context layer" for other AI tools — its MCP server and APIs allow any agent to query meeting history, making it a critical data infrastructure play.
- **Growth in London & US**: Hiring across Engineering, Design, Sales, and Operations in both London and San Francisco — building out a US revenue team.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, tight-knit in-person team (~50 employees as of early 2026) with total ownership over your area of the product. Described as "high trust" with visionary founders. Office is beautiful, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided daily.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Office-first with flexibility built in — 5 days in office by default, but flexible for life circumstances. Remote up to four weeks a year.
- **Notable Perks**:
    - Health Insurance (AXA for UK family; Aetna/Kaiser for US with dental & vision)
    - 20 weeks primary / 12 weeks secondary parental leave (fully paid)
    - 401(k) 100% match on first 3% of salary (US); 7% matching via Penfold (UK)
    - Daily fresh lunch (office)
    - Gym Boost: monthly contribution toward gym membership
    - L&D Budget: annual budget for courses, books, conferences
    - Life Insurance: 4x salary (UK); 2x up to $750k (US)
    - Income Protection: 75% salary (UK); 60% up to $12k/month (US)
    - Time Off: 25 days + bank holidays (UK); Unlimited PTO (US)
    - Commuter Benefits: tax-free bike purchase (UK); pre-tax transit/parking (US)
    - "Casa Granola" team getaway house in Majorca for offsites/deep work.
- **Engineering Culture**: AI-heavy, product-engineering focus. Roles include AI Engineer, Product Engineers (Backend, Full Stack, Windows), Design Engineer, and Security Engineer. Engineers work directly with co-founders on roadmap.
