Software Engineer

About 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.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).

About The Role

The Imports and Exports team enables seamless content transfer between Notion and other productivity tools. You will help build user experience and migration capabilities that ensure reliable, large-scale content transfers. Your work will drive user growth and support Notion's expansion into the enterprise market. We are looking for an experienced engineer who excels at problem-solving, collaborates effectively, and thrives in a team environment.

What You'll Achieve

• You’ll contribute to Notion's user growth by building a delightful user experience that enables users to seamlessly migrate their content from existing productivity tools.
• You’ll contribute to the overall design, scale, reliability and robustness of the systems responsible for moving large amounts of customer data into and out of Notion.
• You would be enabling Notion move upmarket by working with a team of engineers and cross-functional partners across product, design & professional services to reliably migrate some of Notion’s biggest Enterprise customers from third-party applications.
  
  
  

Skills You'll Need To Bring

• Proven track record of execution: You have 7+ years of engineering experience, including several years building world-class product experiences alongside a team of engineers.
• Building the team: You enjoy collaborating with both fellow engineers and cross-functional partners. You are a lifelong learner and invest in both your own growth, but also the growth, learning, and development of your teammates.
• Thoughtful problem-solving: 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.
• Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go.
• Empathetic communication: You clearly communicate complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders—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.
  
  
  

Nice To Haves

• You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Memcached, Postgres, Docker, and Elasticsearch.
• You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work.
• You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.
