Job description

Build on top of Windows' native audio APIs and bring Granola to millions of Windows users.

We're looking for a Product Engineer with deep experience building Electron apps to help us deliver a world-class Granola experience on Windows and macOS.

Our macOS app (built with Electron) is loved by users and growing fast. The Windows version is already well underway, and now we're seeking someone to help bring it to life.

We want someone who's shipped complex Electron apps and knows how to make cross-platform apps feel at home on both Windows and macOS.

In this role, you will:

• Be heavily involved in Granola's Electron app for Windows and macOS, from build to launch and beyond.
• Build thoughtful, delightful features that feel native to users on both platforms.
• Work closely with design to craft a cohesive cross-platform user experience.
• Solve tricky cross-platform challenges in Electron and Node.js.
• Ensure the app is fast, stable, and efficient.

Your background looks something like:

• 5+ years of experience building and shipping software, with a strong focus on Electron.
• Shipped production Electron apps for Windows.
• Deep understanding of how Electron apps work, from packaging to updates, performance, and native modules.
• Comfortable working with React, Node.js, and TypeScript in an Electron environment.
• Use Windows as a primary development environment and understand user expectations.
• Pragmatic and opinionated about Electron app design, feel, and performance.
• Experience working on cross-platform apps (macOS + Windows) or know how to design for both.

As a person, you…

• Are primarily a builder.
• Are excited to work in-person from our London office (most of the time).
• Love working in a startup environment or are drawn to the zero-to-one phase.
• Value working with kind, ambitious, and pragmatic people.

About the opportunity

We are in an exciting time for tool builders, reminiscent of Engelbart's 1968 demo. We aim to assemble the best team to build this future in London. Our compensation philosophy is to pay slightly above market salary and equity.

We do our best work in person, spending most days in our bright, spacious office at Old Street. We offer relocation assistance for candidates moving to London.

We believe diverse experiences lead to great talent. If you feel this role speaks to you, whether or not you see a perfect fit on paper, please reach out.

We will review applications and respond within a week.

Our culture is flexible and parent-friendly. While we prefer in-person work, WFH is supported when needed.

Our office in Shoreditch is filled with plants and good vibes.

Enjoy access to Casa Granola, our team house in Majorca, for offsites or holidays.

We provide private health insurance (free for you, subsidized for family), above-market compensation, generous options, pension matching, and 25 days of paid leave plus holidays.
