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.

  • Ownership and initiative: You thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured environment and are comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems. You act with a bias toward action and focus on results.

  • Team player: You understand when work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

  • 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 using AI (LLMs and/or classical ML) to solve trust or security problems at scale.

  • Experience building AI-enabled applications in production (LLMs and/or classical ML)

  • You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Dynamo, Memcached.
