What We’re Looking For

You have 2 - 4 years of engineering experience and can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates.

Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You don't just go after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go.

Empathetic communication: 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.

Team player: You understand when work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results. Ideally, you are comfortable using tools like Claude Code or Codex.

Nice To Haves

Domain expertise: You have engineering experience in trust, safety, security, and privacy.

Cross-functional collaboration: You have a history of strong cross-functional collaboration with trust and safety ops, legal, and/or other non-technical teams.

Technology stack: You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Dynamo, Memcached.

Startup mentality: You are comfortable navigating the fast moving, unstructured nature of a hyper-growth startup. You are self-motivated to add value and bias towards action.

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Notion.
