We’re building the next generation of tools designed not just to capture notes, but to fundamentally improve how people learn, think, and collaborate. Our app brings the natural expressiveness of paper into the digital age, empowering millions of students, educators, and professionals worldwide to organize their ideas, deepen their understanding, and achieve their goals.

Our mission is simple: we help you learn. As part of our team, you’ll help create experiences driven by empathy, exceptional design, and the belief that great ideas can come from anywhere—including you. Come help us make learning better for everyone.

We are looking for an Engineer to join our Android team, with experience developing exceptional and innovative Android applications.

What You Need

• 2-4 years of experience developing, architecting, optimizing and shipping high performance Android applications written in Kotlin
• Strong computer science fundamentals and problem- solving skills
• Strong verbal and written communication & collaboration skills
• Passionate about solutions while humble in the face of opposing ideas
• Desire to embrace the way engineering is changing (more immutable data, functional patterns, etc.) while also being intensely pragmatic
• Experience with large Android codebases and complex, high-performance apps is a plus
• Experience with Jetpack compose is highly desirable

For this position we are targeting a base pay between $120,000 - $175,000. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

When We Work

We actively promote work-life balance. Our schedules are flexible, our hybrid policy supports remote work when it makes sense, and we have a “as long as you get your work done” approach to time off.

Why You'd Love Working Here

We work in downtown SF near Market Street, just a short walk from two BART/Muni stations. Our office has height-adjustable desks to help us stay limber, spacious conference rooms for both small and large team meetings, and a well-stocked kitchen full of goodies to enjoy :).
