- Plenty of opportunities to work on things that make a real difference on a small team
- 5 days in office by default (with flexibility for life circumstances)
- Small team, so things can be busy — you'll wear many hats
Supabase
- Truly open-source DNA — build products millions of developers use daily
- No-hierarchy remote culture with extreme autonomy and generous allowances

- Work-life balance rated 3.0/5 — fast shipping pace can be relentless
Bottom Line
Granola
Choose Granola if you want to work on one of the most loved AI products with a small, London-based, in-office team obsessed with craft — but note the 5-days-in-office policy is explicit and non-negotiable.
Supabase
Egoless, fully remote culture with just one meeting per week and extreme autonomy — but the relentless shipping pace means work-life balance takes a hit.
