Goodnotes is a productivity-focused software company best known for its award-winning digital note-taking app, Goodnotes, which is available on iPad, iPhone, and Mac, and now also on Android and Windows as of 2023. The company has grown from an independent indie app into a fast-scaling startup that competes in the booming productivity and EdTech space, with millions of users worldwide and a valuation exceeding $1 billion (reaching unicorn status in 2021 after a Series B funding round). Their team operates in a hybrid culture focused on crafting a natural, paper-like writing experience with AI features, solidifying their position as a leading player in the digital handwriting niche.

Goodnotes is headquartered in London, UK, with growing operations in Spain and other hubs. As they expand their international footprint, they actively hire remote-friendly roles and have opened a dedicated office in Madrid, Spain, which serves as a hub for engineering and other functions. The company attracts international hires by offering a largely distributed work environment (with some presence in Madrid and other cities) and a culture that values flexibility, innovation, and serving a global user base. For international professionals, Goodnotes offers the opportunity to work with a globally distributed team, contribute to a free-to-use product, and engage with a vibrant startup-like culture while based in Spain with access to the broader European market.

Company History

Goodnotes was founded in 2011 by Steven Chan (a former Google software engineer) as an independent iOS app aimed at replacing paper notebooks with a digital handwriting experience. Initially developed in California, the app gained mainstream popularity on iPad, and by 2019 it was rebranded from 'Goodnotes' to 'GoodNotes' and later reverted to 'Goodnotes.' Over the years, it expanded to Android and Windows, raised a Series B round in 2021 that valued the company at over $300 million, and became a distributed team headquartered in London, UK, with a growing presence in Spain.
