About the company
Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.
About the role
The Product Infrastructure team works on creating abstractions and data models that solve enduring problems across the stack. We solve problems that span multiple product surfaces and typically stretch across both front-end and backend.
Responsibilities
- Shape and build the core frameworks that enable reading and writing data in Notion, integrating feedback from internal customers, using tools such as AWS, Postgres, NodeJS, TypeScript, React on the frontend
- Design new systems and abstractions that improve developer productivity, reliability, and performance
- Solve hard technical challenges such as designing abstractions for efficient traversal of the user content graph, building a system to sync user content for offline use, or scaling the permission model
Requirements
- Thoughtful problem-solving: ability to decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution
- Pragmatic and business-oriented: care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly
- Strive for simplicity: think critically about implications and aim for the most simple and well-crafted design
- Not ideological about technology: understand tradeoffs and can learn new technologies
- Empathetic communication: communicate nuanced ideas clearly
- Team player: enjoy collaborating cross-functionally
Nice to Haves
- Leveraged features of typed languages (e.g. TypeScript, Flow) to drive code migrations, or implemented own data modeling paradigms (e.g. writing own ORM, sync engine, or query language)
- Seen how fundamental abstractions scale within a large codebase
- Interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences
Conditions
- Hybrid work: office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (Anchor Days)
- Competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits
- Estimated base salary range: $150,000 - $200,000 per year
