Requirements
• Experience working as a Design Engineer, frontend engineer with strong design skills, or designer with strong engineering skills • Highly proficient with React, TypeScript, Tailwind and have a solid grasp of modern frontend architecture • Strong visual and interaction design skills — you care deeply about details, polish, and making things feel "just right" • Natural prototyper who's comfortable exploring in Figma, code, or AI tools, depending on what's fastest • Worked on (or are drawn to) design systems and component libraries, and know how to balance consistency with flexibility • 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 • Thrive in a fast-paced iterative startup environment where experimentation is encouraged
Responsibilities
• Build and maintain a robust, scalable design system in both Figma and code (React, Tailwind etc.) • Prototype and ship high-quality, production-ready UI that nails the details — from typography and color to motion and microinteractions • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering to bring new features to life, from early concept to polished implementation • Maintain consistency as we grow across multiple platforms (Mac, Windows, iOS) • Identify and fix gaps between design and engineering, raising the quality bar across the product • Help invent new interaction patterns for AI-driven tools
Benefits
• You won't just hand off designs to engineers or code up specs you didn't influence. You'll be both designing and building the Granola interface. • We're inventing new AI-powered workflows. This means prototyping, testing, and refining interactions that don't yet have established patterns. • You'll work closely with Sam (co-founder & designer), our founding designer, and our talented engineering team, all of whom care deeply about product quality. You'll have space and support to push for exceptional user experiences.
