Software Engineer, Developer

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company 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 Nike, Airbnb, Slack, Samsung 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. The Developer Experience team is responsible for architecting, implementing, and scaling the tools and frameworks that Notion developers use to build Notion.

We are looking for engineers who are passionate about solving engineering productivity challenges, have deep empathy for other developers, and love to communicate with engineers. You don't need to have experience in this domain but being willing to advocate for developer experience is key.

• Collaborate with engineers across the company to deliver an industry-leading developer experience, along the way working deeply with tools like the Type Script language server, lint tooling, and the Notion CLI to improve developers’ day-to-day experience.
• Work on the bleeding edge of tooling performance, researching and evaluating new tools and keeping up with new developments in the developer experience space in the JS ecosystem.
• Work deeply with Git Hub and our CI systems to help ensure engineers can merge their code quickly and safely. We aim for all PR CI pipelines to finish within 15 minutes!
• Take ownership of our development environment and toolchain, and contribute to novel projects across the company to deliver impact.

• A drive to make developers’ lives better: you have a strong interest in keeping engineers in their flow state through better tooling. You like to think critically about the workflows engineers use in their day-to-day work, finding bottlenecks and thinking outside of the box to find ways to pave a better golden path for engineers to follow.
• A focus on user experience: you bring care and craft to the user experience you build into your products. Your work emphasizes simplicity, supportability, and ease-of-use, and you communicate clearly with other teams and engineers to get feedback on where we can improve.
• Multitasker and present: you like interrupts especially if this is blocking engineers. You switch between your project work and day-to-day developer experience challenges.
• Interest in learning how things work: you love to learn how the tools you use work at a fundamental level. You get excited at the idea of digging into third-party source code to understand how they work and find new ways to use them.
• Pragmatic and business-oriented: You 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.

• Familiarity with Type Script, especially in ways to keep it running smoothly in a large codebase.
• An interest in automated testing and familiarity with testing best practices.
• Past experience with React and common tooling like React Testing Library.
• Past experience on developer experience teams or related tools.

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…
