We're team Granola\nIf you haven't already, you should check outwhat we're building, andwhy you should work here.\nWe're looking for a Product Designer to invent the future of AI-powered work tools. You’ll share in our obsession with making the most useful product possible, especially as we evolve Granola into a multiplayer, multi-platform tool that helps with much more than just notes.\nWhy this role is special:\nInvent the future of software: AI is evolving at breakneck speed, and we believe half the \"best practices\" of tomorrow haven't been invented yet. If you're drawn to experimentation and pioneering new interaction patterns, you'll thrive here.\n\nShape our early team: You'll shape Granola's design DNA. You won't just follow established processes; you'll create them, influencing everything from day-to-day design workflows to our long-term design culture.\n\nJoin a design-forward founding team: Sam (co-founder) is a designer, and Chris (co-founder) is a second-time founder with product background. We get what it means to do design right, and you'll have full support to push for great user experiences.\n\nWork with kind, ambitious, and talented people: We've built an incredibly talented team of engineers and designers, with product sense and empathy for our users. Building something that's actually useful is baked into the culture of the company.\n\nIn this role, you will:\nWork on early feature definition, and sit shoulder to shoulder with engineers to ship features and market them to the world.\n\nLevel up the fit & finish of our product. People spend hours each day working inside Granola; we owe it to them to make it a beautifully crafted experience.\n\nSpend hours each week with users whether it’s investigating use cases, testing new features, or building your sense of what to build next.\n\nPrototype, test, iterate: Jump between \"explore\" mode (trying wild ideas, prototyping in Figma or code with AI tools like Cursor/Claude Code) and \"exploit\" mode (perfecting promising features, nailing interactions, typography, and motion).\n\nEvolve our brand and design language, and make sure it's applied consistently across the product.\n\nYour background looks something like:\nSpent at least a few years shipping beautifully designed products to real users. Think of this as a senior/staff-level role.\n\nSystems thinker who's worked on open-ended tools before, not just A→B flows. You understand that architecting a flexible system is as much the challenge as executing on individual features.\n\nKnow when to be scrappy, and when to hone in on the details. When we're early figuring out features, speed of iteration is all that counts. As we build conviction in what we're building, it's sweating the details in interaction, typography, and motion that make all the difference.\n\nA natural prototyper: let's try it and see how it feels might be one of our most used phrases in the office.\n\nDrawn to figuring out problems in code and the latest AI tools: staying on the bleeding edge of AI tools is a company value for us - it's important to make us more effective, but also to incorporate the best ideas into Granola.\n\nMeasure your designs on what shipped, not a beautiful Figma file.\n\nComfortable working across platforms. We're building for Mac, iOS, and web, and it's important that Granola feels like a good citizen on all. An awareness of established patterns for each platform is important.\n\nAs a person, you…\nAre first and foremost a builder\n\nAre excited to work in-person from our office in London (most of the time)\n\nLove working in a startup environment (you either have experience working in a startup or are really drawn to the zero-to-one phase)\n\nValue working with people who are kind, ambitious, and pragmatic\n\nAbout the opportunity\nWe are living in the most exciting time for tool builders since Engelbart's demo in 1968, and 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.\nWe 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.\nLastly, 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4465,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Relocation assistance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["LLM & Generative AI","Office & Productivity Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-07-22T09:35:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":5,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.174,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":91,"expected_fill_days":26,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","ghost","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200787,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/granola-product-designer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/granola-product-designer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T16:49:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17391,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":37744},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=37744"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgranola-product-designer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgranola-product-designer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgranola-product-designer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/granola-product-designer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgranola-product-designer"}]}
