About company

Routine is on a mission to help busy people stay on top of things. CEOs, entrepreneurs, investors, senior executive and general managers evolve in a very chaotic environment with hundreds of emails, chat messages, things going through their mind and important tasks that must be completed in time.


Even though a lot of tools exist, from email clients, todo and note taking apps all the way to project management platforms and physical notebooks, none of them work when it comes to having an overall picture of what matters at the moment while knowing that the less important stuff will eventually be taken care of. Routine is a personal productivity assistant that is always at the user's fingertips, allowing busy people to quickly capture thoughts, secure time to work on important tasks, plan their day, set objectives, schedule meetings, take notes and more.


Routine has been created in 2020 by Julien Quintard and Quentin Hocquet, serial entrepreneurs who previously founded Infinit which was acquired by Docker in 2016. Routine is financially backed by well-known business angels and venture capital firms (Y Combinator, BoxGroup, TargetGlobal).

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • Domain Expert, Teacher and Learner: You have experience building AI products using LLMs, embeddings or other ML natural language technologies. 3+ years of experience in one or more of the following areas: machine learning, recommendation or ranking systems, natural language understanding/generation or artificial intelligence. You’re excited about bringing your pre-existing knowledge to the team, but you balance that with perpetual curiosity and understanding that there is always more to learn.
  • Pragmatic Problem-solver: You approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You think critically about the implications of what you're building and how it will impact real people's lives. You can navigate ambiguity flawlessly, decompose complex problems into clean solutions, while also balancing the business impact of what you’re building. You are able to think on your feet, iterate efficiently on new ideas, and are enthusiastic about shifting your thinking as new information comes to light.
  • Empathetic communication and leadership: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed. You enjoy collaborating with and mentoring fellow engineers and work well with cross-functional partners. You are a lifelong learner and invest in both your own growth and the growth, learning, and development of your teammates.
  • Impact-orientation and user focus: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.
