Cross-platform digital note-taking with handwriting

No salary listed

London, UK

Hybrid

Job is listed as 'London or Europe timezone or Asia timezone' and 'Flexible working hours and location'. The title does not explicitly state remote; description says flexible working hours and location. Based on timezone options, this may imply remote within London, Europe, or Asia timezones; however exact remote policy is unclear. Given the mention of 'Flexible working hours and location' and 'Budget for home office', I interpret as hybrid/remote. To be safe, we mark HYBRID with no fixed in-office days stated.

GoodNotes is a digital note-taking app that emphasizes handwriting with features like handwriting recognition, AI-powered spellcheck, word completion, and math assistance. It works across multiple platforms, syncing notes so users can access them from any device. The app uses a freemium model: basic features are free while premium functionalities come via in-app purchases and subscriptions, and it includes a marketplace for planners, notebooks, and stickers to monetize the user base. The product combines handwriting-focused input with smart AI tools and a built-in store to help students, educators, and professionals stay organized. Its goal is to provide a smooth, handwriting-centric note-taking experience with seamless cross-device access and a growing ecosystem of paid features and content.
