Who this role is best for

Geared toward candidates with startup experience and technical fluency in the growth stack, comfortable with building product-led growth loops and working in a fast-paced, in-office environment in London.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with startup experience and a strong builder mindset who thrive in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
    — “Love working in a startup environment (you either have experience working in a startup or are really drawn to the zero-to-one phase)”
  • Individuals with end-to-end ownership of growth experimentation and a background in product or full stack engineering
    — “5+ years of experience in growth, product, or full stack engineering, ideally with end-to-end ownership of experimentation, optimisation or conversion work”
  • Candidates who can bridge product, data, and marketing with a focus on user behavior and retention strategies
    — “Partner with product, marketing, and data to surface growth levers and ship improvements that compound over time”

Things to consider

  • The role requires a significant in-office presence in London, with limited remote flexibility
    — “excited to work in-person from our office in London (most of the time)”
  • Candidates should be prepared to define their own priorities in a high-velocity startup setting
    — “Experience in a high-velocity startup or an environment where you've had to move fast, define your own priorities, and ship without a detailed spec”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience in building product-led growth loops and measurable impact on user retention
    — “Build and iterate on activation, onboarding, sharing, and retention flows that turn first-time users into daily habits”
  • Demonstrate technical expertise in the required stack: TypeScript, React, Node.js, and analytics tools
    — “Comfort working across the growth stack - TypeScript, React, Node.js, product analytics tools and A/B testing infrastructure”
  • Showcase your ability to translate user behavior data into actionable product or engineering improvements
    — “Translate user behaviour and funnel data into practical product or engineering changes that improve outcomes”
  • Emphasize your experience in defining success metrics and evaluating impact with strong product judgment
    — “Define success metrics before you build, evaluate impact honestly, and balance speed with strong product judgment”

ABOUT GRANOLA

Hey! We’re team Granola 👋

We’re building the leading AI-powered notepad for people in back-to-back meetings, a product that’s spreading through teams and redefining how knowledge is captured and used. We help teams turn messy conversations into structured insight, so they can spend more time focusing on what’s important and less time on admin.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're hiring a Growth Engineer to sit across product, data, and marketing problems - identifying opportunities, running experiments, and building product-led growth loops that feel native to the Granola experience. Our growth has been almost entirely organic. Now we want to understand it, accelerate it, and build the systems to make it compound.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own the full growth experimentation cycle - from spotting opportunities in the funnel to shipping, measuring, and deciding what to kill or double down on
  • Build and iterate on activation, onboarding, sharing, and retention flows that turn first-time users into daily habits
  • Partner with product, marketing, and data to surface growth levers and ship improvements that compound over time
  • Develop the experimentation infrastructure (A/B testing, attribution tracking, analytics tooling), so teams can move fast and learn faster
  • Translate user behaviour and funnel data into practical product or engineering changes that improve outcomes
  • Define success metrics before you build, evaluate impact honestly, and balance speed with strong product judgment
  • Help shape how growth operates at Granola - the metrics that matter, the playbooks, and the bar for what good looks like

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

YOUR BACKGROUND LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE…

  • 5+ years of experience in growth, product, or full stack engineering, ideally with end-to-end ownership of experimentation, optimisation or conversion work
  • Strong product sense and user experience, you can see problems from multiple sides and build for all of them.
  • Good understanding of metrics, success measurement and iteration
  • Experience in a high-velocity startup or an environment where you've had to move fast, define your own priorities, and ship without a detailed spec
  • Comfort working across the growth stack - TypeScript, React, Node.js, product analytics tools and A/B testing infrastructure

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
  • Are curious about AI, product systems, and how growth loops actually work - you enjoy digging into the mechanics of why things succeed or fail
  • Communicate clearly, collaborate well across product, marketing, and engineering, and are comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-moving environment
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment with evolving requirements and priorities

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

We 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. Our compensation philosophy is to hire the best people in the market and pay them accordingly with salary, variable, and equity.

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.
