Software Engineer (Collections Experience)
Posted Updated
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Strong product instincts: you can take a vague problem, propose a solid technical approach, and know when to cut scope
- 10+ years shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end
- Experience on systems where data model decisions have long-lived consequences (databases, permissions, collaborative editing, or similar)
- Fluency with TypeScript across both backend and frontend
- Experience building database, spreadsheet, or workflow tools
- Familiarity with AI/agent tooling, evals, or LLM-driven product experiences
- Background in permissions or authorization systems at scale
- 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
