“It almost seems like we’re astronauts on an experimentation migration to Mars. We need to stay inside the safe house, so we work, play and live together… We just don’t need to grow our own crops.” - Sherry

Communicating between London and Hong Kong: How we make it work

We’ve been developing our remote-friendly working style for a long time, even before COVID forced us all to work from home.

One of our new Londoners had actually been working remotely from Germany for 4 years. We also have several team members working remotely in SouthEast Asia.

As a result, we have a strong culture of evidence-based decision-making and documentation — meaning that people can pick things up right where we left off, access the same information, and make meaningful contributions no matter the time zone.

Slack, Quip, Notion, and Webex are a few of the essentials in our remote-friendly toolbelt. What’s more, while most people are bilingual, the general language of our workplace is English.

That being said, we’re still sorting out the bumps in the road, and if you have some great ideas on how to work smoothly across different time zones, we’re all ears!

Exciting things are happening: Here’s why you should join us.

We’re building something new, and you’ll get to help shape the blueprints.

Our new office is working on a slightly different project than the core team in Hong Kong, and we have a soaring vision for it. We’re looking for people who have big questions and ideas, and aren’t afraid to test their hypotheses.

Work with the agility and creativity of a startup with the stability of a profitable company.

When it comes to this new project, you can think of it like a startup within a profitable tech company. We have the space to test bigger ideas without the risk that usually comes with failure. We’re experimenting and trying something different on top of a solid foundation, to build the GoodNotes brand and product in an exciting way.

“The small team moves quite fast. I love the productivity and efficiency.” - Eric

We have a dedicated community of engaged users (which makes user testing and feedback a dream!)

At GoodNotes we’re extremely thankful to have such a strong community of users, who are always willing to give us feedback, fill in our surveys, and help us continue to build with a user-centric design. To put this into perspective, our surveys can already generate thousands of responses within the first few hours — it’s a luxury, we know!

We offer a generous relocation package, so you don’t have to worry about logistics.

We’re hiring talent from all over the world — and if you’re not already based in the UK, we’ll make it easy for you to make the move. We’ll cover the cost of the flight and initial accommodations.

We make no compromises on health; we can compromise on office location.

Right now, particularly in light of COVID, our first priority is to keep our team members safe and healthy. If you’re not ready to make the move to London, remote work is definitely an option.

We’ve hit a big milestone and hope you’ll come along for the ride

If you’re a creative thinker and want to build something meaningful from the ground up, we’re confident you’d like it here with us.
