Software Engineer, Collections Experience

Notion helps you build beautiful tools for your life’s work. In today's world of endless apps and tabs, Notion provides one place for teams to get everything done, seamlessly connecting docs, notes, projects, calendar, and email—with AI built in to find answers and automate work. Millions of users, from individuals to large organizations like Toyota, Figma, and OpenAI, love Notion for its flexibility and choose it because it helps them save time and money.

In-person collaboration is essential to Notion's culture. We require all team members to work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, our designated Anchor Days. Certain teams or positions may require additional in-office workdays.

Collections Experience owns the product experience for Notion’s database block and everything on top of it: properties, views, forms, permissions, and many more features. If you’ve ever typed /database in a Notion page, you’ve already used something our team built.

We’re hiring an experienced software engineer to accelerate our mission to build a flexible, reliable, and intuitive primitive that gives everyone the power to model their work exactly as they imagine— from simple lists to the most complex workflows.

We’re 8+ engineers, designers, and PMs across SF and NYC. You’ll work across the stack in TypeScript, ship features that touch both the data model and the UI, and help shape where the database block goes next.

• Design and ship new database properties and views that expand what people can model in Notion

• Design permission models that hold up at the scale of our largest customers

• Partner with the Agent team to grow what Notion Agent can do with databases, from tool development to eval-driven iteration

• Collaborate closely with product and design on features that are ambiguous up front and require strong technical judgment to scope

• Raise the bar on code review, testing, and technical design across the team

• 10+ years shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end

• Fluency with TypeScript across both backend and frontend

• Strong product instincts: you can take a vague problem, propose a solid technical approach, and know when to cut scope

• Experience on systems where data model decisions have long-lived consequences (databases, permissions, collaborative editing, or similar)

• 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.

• Experience building database, spreadsheet, or workflow tools

• Background in permissions or authorization systems at scale

• Familiarity with AI/agent tooling, evals, or LLM-driven product experiences

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.
