Product Engineer (Desktop) London, UK

Build the best desktop app and bring Granola to millions of Windows users. We are 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 and Windows apps (built with Electron) are loved by users and growing fast. We want someone who has 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 Windows and macOS
• 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 dev environment and understand how users expect apps to behave
• Pragmatic and opinionated about how Electron apps should feel and perform
• Essential: you've worked on cross-platform apps (macOS + Windows), or know how to design for both

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

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 will 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. We will review your application and get back to you within a week.

Flexible, parent-friendly culture. We default to in-person, but feel free to WFH when you need to. A beautiful, light-filled office full of plants and good vibes in Shoreditch. Casa Granola: use our team house in sunny Majorca (yes, you read that right). It's a space for offsites, going deep on a project with a small group, or just inviting friends/family for a holiday. Private health insurance. Free for you, subsidised for your family. Above-market compensation. Competitive salary, a generous option grant on employee-friendly terms, employer pension matching, and 25 days (plus bank holidays) of paid time off.
