Job description

Hey! We're team Granola 👋 If you haven't already, you should check out what we're building, and why you should work here.

We're looking for an Android Engineer who loves building products in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

In this role, you'll transform everything we've learned on macOS and iOS into a distinctly Android experience. You'll architect our Android app from the ground up, talk directly with users to decide what ships next, and own the Play Store launch. As part of the core product team, you'll unlock the next 100x users for Granola on mobile.

In this role, you will:

• Build Granola for Android from the ground up, owning every layer from architecture to the final shipped experience
• Architect a modern Kotlin + Jetpack Compose codebase that feels native to Android from day one
• Bring Granola's audio magic, transcription, chat, and next-generation AI features to Android
• Explore on-device ML with Google's latest models alongside Granola's AI engineers
• Prototype our first Wear OS companion experience completely from scratch
• Use bleeding‑edge AI coding tools (Codex, Claude Code, etc.) the moment they ship—no bureaucracy
• Build on the newest Android APIs
• Share your wildest demos in bi‑weekly all‑hands sessions and ship the ones that hit
• Move fast with rapid experimentation and prototyping, doubling down on what resonates with users
• Develop totally novel interfaces and interactions for audio capture, playback, and more that make our app feel effortless and delightful

Your background looks something like:

• You've shipped polished Android apps end‑to‑end, from greenfield architecture to launch and iteration
• You're fluent in Kotlin, at home in Jetpack Compose, and willing to dive into lower‑level Android frameworks when needed
• You've built (or are excited to build) real‑time experiences or media features
• You're curious about on‑device ML and AI‑assisted product features, and eager to partner with our AI engineers to bring them to life
• Rapid prototyping, demoing work, and iterating directly with designers and users feels natural to you

As a person, you…

• Are first and foremost a builder
• Are excited to work in‑person from our office in London (most of the time)
• Love working in a startup environment (you either have experience working in a startup or are really drawn to the zero‑to‑one phase)
• Value working with people who are kind, ambitious and pragmatic
• Have an interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)
• Thrive in a fast‑paced environment with evolving requirements and priorities

About the opportunity

We are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since Engelbart's demo 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.
