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
