Description
Join Notability and shape the future of learning. We’re building the next generation of tools designed not just to capture notes, but to fundamentally improve how people learn, think, and collaborate. Our app brings the natural expressiveness of paper into the digital age, empowering millions of students, educators, and professionals worldwide to organize their ideas, deepen their understanding, and achieve their goals. Our mission is simple: we help you learn.
As part of our team, you’ll help create experiences driven by empathy, exceptional design, and the belief that great ideas can come from anywhere—including you. Come help us make learning better for everyone. With Notability Web, users on any web-capable platform can collaboratively author, capture, and import dynamic content in real-time, then learn, review, and master the content using our AI study tools. Notability has remained a top-seller in the App Store in the years since its debut, and is used by millions of passionate, active users.
We’re seeking an early-career software engineer to join us in evolving the Notability web app. We direct AI coding tools daily, and our craft heavily involves specifying problems clearly, reviewing critically, and owning outcomes. You'll be part of a team building value and delight for our users through rapid iteration, sound judgment, and clear, generous communication.
Your responsibilities
Communicate clearly, concisely and proactively in writing, conversation and use of AI: crisp problem statements and messages, readable PR descriptions, well-timed questions, honest status
Drive your work to completion: you find a way around ambiguity, review feedback, and edge cases
Ship stable, readable, well-tested code serving efficient and delightful user experiences
Jump into unfamiliar areas to solve tough problems
Operate with respect for the ideas, victories, mistakes, and time of your collaborators
Take in feedback from mentors and peers to continuously self-improve
Bring ideas and opinions: balance product and tech needs through open collaboration
Requirements
Clear, concise communication, written and verbal: you make complex things simple for the people around you, and teammates are energized by working with you
Good judgment, and ownership of outcomes rather than tasks
Genuine care for the people you work with: you build trust, give and receive feedback well, and treat collaboration as the job rather than an interruption to it
Evidence you've shipped something real, professionally or on your own
Comfort reading and reasoning about React, TypeScript, and modern web code
Solid grasp of web fundamentals (browser, network, async behavior, application state)
Daily fluency with AI coding tools
Demonstrated curiosity: something you built, wrote, or figured out on your own initiative
Nice To Have
Experience with Redux or similar global state management
Experience with canvas/WebGL, or rendering engines e.g. Three.js or PixiJS
Knowledge of web performance optimization techniques
Experience building with LLM APIs, agents, or AI-assisted developer workflows
Writing, teaching or learning in public via a blog, repo, etc
For this position we are targeting a base pay between $120,000-$175,000. Actual compensation offered will be determined by factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. This role follows a hybrid model, with a minimum of two days onsite at our downtown San Francisco office and flexibility to work remotely from home the rest of the week.
