Job description

Granola is hiring a Product Designer to help shape AI-powered work tools as the product grows into a multiplayer, multi-platform tool. With many best practices for AI tools yet to be invented, there's room to experiment with new interaction patterns, and the chance to shape the team's design culture, workflows and long-term design direction. The founding team is design-forward: one co-founder is a designer and the other is a second-time founder with a product background.

The team works in person at the Old Street office in London, five days a week.

What you'll be doing

• Helping define early features and working alongside engineers to ship and market them
• Polishing the product's fit and finish, since people use it for hours each day
• Spending time each week with users, researching use cases and testing features
• Moving between rapid exploration (prototyping in Figma or in code with AI tools) and refinement (interactions, typography, motion)
• Evolving the brand and design language and applying it consistently

What we're looking for

• Several years of shipping well-designed products to real users, at a senior or staff level
• Systems thinking, with experience on open-ended tools rather than only linear flows
• Knowing when to move fast and when to focus on detail
• A natural prototyper who values trying ideas quickly
• Interest in AI tools and in solving problems in code
• Judging work by what ships rather than by polished design files
• Comfort designing across Mac, iOS and web, following each platform's conventions
• A builder who enjoys startup environments, works well in person in London, and values kind, ambitious and pragmatic colleagues

What's on offer

• Salary: £110,000 – £150,000 base, plus equity
• Salary set slightly above market and equity above market
• Benefits including private health insurance and a Mallorca villa
• Relocation assistance for people moving to London
• A talented, kind and ambitious team that values building useful products

Granola encourages people to apply even if their background doesn't match every point on paper.
