Software Engineer, Infrastructure

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.

Millions of people use Notion — and this number is increasing every day. That means millions of people trust us to deliver a fast, reliable, and secure experience, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep earning trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the tools they can build in Notion.

This is where you come in — to help us build a robust and enduring infrastructural foundation for Notion's future across reliability, scalability, security, performance, and developer velocity.

• You'll help scale Notion as a best-in-class service for our millions of users and teams who rely on us every day.
• You'll have the opportunity to work in a variety of Infrastructure domains, including:
  • Build, Test, Deploy
  • Cloud Infrastructure
  • Developer Productivity
  • DevOps
  • Observability
  • Storage

• You'll be responsible for debugging systems in production, appreciating the skill and challenge of replacing production components with minimal user disruption. You are able to be on an on-call rotation.

• You'll have the opportunity to scale production software to support rapid growth, monitoring production systems, and managing resource constraints

• You'll care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You don't just go after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. 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.

• You have experience in scaling a hyper-growth startup
• You can lead a small team and multi-month project end to end with minimal management and cross-functional support
• You have expertise in architecting data models for scalability and developer productivity
• You have experience working with distributed systems

• You've managed, maintained, and monitored systems using Amazon Web Services, Datadog, Postgres, Redis, Memcached, 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.

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.
