Software Engineer, Collections Experience

Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together . We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About the Role

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.

What You'll Achieve

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

Skills You'll Need to Bring

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.

Nice to Haves:

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
