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:

Building is at the heart of what makes Notion, Notion. Just like we strive to empower our customers with the ability to build whatever tools they need, we want to enable our own Engineering team to build the best products possible. Whether it’s improving the scalability of our core product, expanding our product suite, or unlocking new features with AI, it is crucial that we identify and invest in the best bets to make Notion succeed. You will be the primary finance partner to our EPD (Engineering, Product & Design) org, helping them size the investments they want to make and driving accountability for delivering results. This position will serve as both an advocate for the EPD team to empower their success and as the guardrails for Finance to ensure we are building an enduring business model.

What You'll Achieve:

  • Be the source of truth in Finance on all R&D opex spend, setting annual budgets, creating detailed and accurate monthly reporting and maintaining a rolling forecast to make sure leadership has clear visibility into resource deployment
  • Partner deeply with your cross-functional counterparts to continually understand their current roadmap and ensure that they are adequately resourced to execute that plan, supporting their freedom to make tradeoffs in spend allocations to maximize outcomes.
  • Evaluate the unit-economics of new products & features and their impact to the overall company financials in order to inform operational strategy
  • Dive deep into our existing tech stack and understand drivers of cost to both accurately forecast future usage and identify opportunities for optimization

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • 4-6 years of experience across Strategic Finance, FP&A, Investment Banking, or Growth Investing
  • Rock-solid Excel skills to build driver-based models and work with large datasets
  • High attention to detail, pride in your work quality, and emphasis on always being a truth-seeker
  • Low ego and a hunger to learn, with an ability to work effectively with cross-functional partners to create alignment and drive the best outcome for Notion

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience working engineering teams and a general knowledge of tech infrastructure tools is a plus, but not required

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.

Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic. Notion considers qualified applicants with criminal histories, consistent with applicable federal, state and local law. Notion is also committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures. If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, please let your recruiter know.

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $180,000 per year.

An Insider's view of Notion

What's something quirky about your company?

The most unique thing I've experienced here is a series called "Life Stories" where a Notino shares a condensed version of their life in 45 minutes. It's an opportunity to hear about people's backgrounds and the experiences that defined them allows us to work together in a way that highlights people's strengths and unique perspectives.

Software Engineer

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I find that engineers do a lot more product thinking here. At Notion, UX, PM, and engineers work closely together to craft the right user experience together. We ask ourselves: are we actually solving the user need? Can we solve this more efficiently? I love that engineers are empowered to give feedback and propose alternate solutions.

Penny

Software Engineer

What’s the vibe like in the office?

Working with a team that is so smart and humble at the same time creates a unique energy and I love exchanging thoughts with my colleagues. Everybody is passionate about our mission and lifts each other up.

What are Notion Perks + Benefits

Notion Benefits Overview

We work to make sure our employees have what they need to succeed.

We offer 100% health insurance coverage for employees and dependents. This includes medical, dental, and vision premiums. You and your dependents will have access to a provider that can create a personalized treatment plan such as digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy programs, coaching, therapy, navigation support, medication management, and EAP services. Our fertility benefit gives you employer-sponsored funds you can use to pay for fertility treatments and family-forming services. Notion makes it easy to save money for retirement. There’s also employer matching!

We want you to take time off to rest and rejuvenate. Notion offers unlimited paid vacation as well as 10+ observed holidays by country.

We believe employees should have access to paid time off for pivotal life events that may fall outside of traditional leaves. Full-time employees can take up to 10 days of paid leave in a rolling 6-month period for bereavement, pregnancy loss, abortion procedures, recovery, and related travel, legal proceedings (e.g., custody hearings, legal components of gender affirmation, proceedings concerning incidents of sexual violence or sexual harassment), or bereavement following the death of a pet.

We offer Notinos a monthly stipend to use towards services that fit their personal needs. This gives you the opportunity to choose your own adventure and use the funds toward things that matter the most to you.

We offer biological, adoptive, and foster parents paid time off to spend quality time with family.

We offer a generous monthly subsidy for your commute.
