Software Engineer, Data Platform
New Today
About The Role: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 OpenAI, Toyota, Figma, Plaid, Ramp, 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).What You'll Do:You'll design and set up the foundations that enable everyone in the company - data scientists, finance, customer success, etc. - to effectively self-serve and leverage data. This can involve scalable ingestion infrastructure and tooling for data model, dashboards, query engines, experimentation and many other things!You'll articulate best practices around logging and ingestion frameworks and implement the changes to make those practices a reality.You'll implement monitoring and alerting systems to guarantee data quality and consistency.You'll determine the best ways to handle Notion's unique data model and usage patterns to derive insights and bring intelligence to product features like search and discovery.You'll create tools to enable the data science team to produce insights quickly, and help them apply and generalize statistical and econometric models efficiently across large datasets.What We're Looking For:Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You have worked cross-functionally to establish the right overarching data architecture for a company's needs, to build data ingestion (real-time & batch), and to provide guidance on best data practices for the business.Data expertise: You have built and managed highly scalable data processing solutions (e.g. Spark, Flink), data lakes or warehouses (e.g. Snowflake, Hive), authored queries (SQL), used workflow management (e.g. Airflow, Luigi), and have experience maintaining the infra that supports these.Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You're not just going after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.Not ideological about technology: 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.Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you are explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.Bonus Points:You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Postgres.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.
