Product Engineer (Transcription)

Product Engineer (Transcription) — Granola

Location: London

Hey! We're team Granola 👋

We're looking for an engineer who loves audio and transcription, and loves building products in a fast-paced, iterative environment.

In this role, you will make Granola the best desktop transcription app that exists. You'll be talking directly with users to understand their transcription problems. You will be part of the founding team and help unlock Granola for the next 100x users.

In this role, you will:

• Own and build our transcription features end-to-end. Things like:

  • Audio capture on macOS and Windows

  • Echo cancellation

  • Connections to transcription providers/models

  • Local transcription models

  • Diarisation/attribution

  • Transcription UI/UX on our desktop app

  • Logging and evals so we know whether all this is working/improving!

• Feel every transcription papercut, because you’ll be using Granola for every meeting!

• Optimise the application for speed, scale, and reliability

• Interact with users to understand their problems and design solutions

• Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, designers, and other members of the team to create a cutting-edge product

Your background looks something like:

• Experience with audio capture, real-time media pipelines

• Engineering experience at tech and product-driven companies

• Proficiency with TypeScript, Node.js, and React, and ideally Electron

• Comfortable dropping into native code and OS audio APIs (CoreAudio, WASAPI, …) when needed, even if you're not a low-level specialist

• Experience with speech-to-text models/providers

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

• Have an interest in AI/ML (direct experience not required)

• 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. 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'll 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.
