Software Engineer, Product Infrastructure
NotionAbout Us
We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.
We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.
About The Role
The Product Infrastructure team’s mission is to deliver a fast, reliable, flexible and secure experience for Notion users. We achieve this by building technical foundations that will reduce complexity across multiple product surfaces, fostering innovation in previously challenging domains.
What You'll Do
- Shape and Build: Spearhead the creation of new product abstractions and data models to enhance user experience and facilitate scalable growth.
- Solve Challenging Technical Problems: Involving complex systems design spanning multiple products and systems. For example, designing and migrating to a new permission model or enabling offline mode for Notion.
- Full-Stack Expertise: Engage with all layers of the stack, spanning server and client environments, utilizing technologies like AWS, Postgres, NodeJS, WebSockets, React etc.
What We're Looking For
- Keen Problem Observer: Have a clear and accurate understanding of context and possess a sharp eye for identifying potential problems and risks both short term and long term.
- Thoughtful Problem-solving: You seek to understand complex problems deeply in order to develop multiple solutions, from which you can articulate tradeoffs between user impact, timeline, scope, craft, and tech debt.
- Impact Driven: You care about user impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You're not motivated to use new technologies on their own, but through careful analysis of their applicability to the problem at hand, taking into account long term implications of technical decisions.
- Clear and 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 work together to find agreeable outcomes.
- Collaborative Team Member: You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally beyond team boundaries to accomplish shared goals. You care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.
Bonus Points
- You have worked on improving functionality of typed languages (e.g. TypeScript, Flow), have deep familiarity with query languages (e.g. GraphQL) or have implemented your own data modeling paradigms (e.g. writing or extending a custom ORM).
We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
