Notion helps you build beautiful tools for your life’s work. In today's world of endless apps and tabs, Notion provides one place for teams to get everything done, seamlessly connecting docs, notes, projects, calendar, and email—with AI built in to find answers and automate work. Millions of users, from individuals to large organizations like Toyota, Figma, and OpenAI, love Notion for its flexibility and choose it because it helps them save time and money.
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.
About The Role:We’re looking for an AI Applications Engineer to help drive Notion’s business transformation efforts. In this role, you’ll be a strategic partner to our internal stakeholders (primarily GTM, Finance and People teams) and deliver and scale creative AI-driven solutions to multi-faceted problems with measurable business impact. You’ll also build reusable components, evaluation patterns, and operational guardrails that make AI delivery repeatable across teams.
What You’ll Achieve:Work with stakeholders to discover opportunities from ambiguous problem statements, translate them into scoped solutions, and drive iterative releases from idea to adoption
Build and ship end‑to‑end AI solutions—from problem framing through data readiness, modeling, evaluation, and production rollout
Establish evaluation and production-readiness patterns (metrics, monitoring, human-in-the-loop, rollout plans) so solutions are reliable at scale
Create reusable components, tooling, templates, and playbooks that accelerate future projects and enable other teams to ship safely
4-8 years of experience as a Software Engineer or Data Engineer (or equivalent), with a track record of building and operating production systems end-to-end across application code, data, and infrastructure. Domain experience partnering with GTM and Finance is a plus.
Experience building AI-enabled applications in production (LLMs and/or classical ML), including prompt + tool orchestration, retrieval, evaluation, and iteration based on real-world feedback.
Strong production-readiness instincts, including observability, monitoring, quality gates, incident response, and safe rollouts/rollbacks in live business workflows.
Systems and integration fluency across APIs, data pipelines, and enterprise tools (e.g., CRM, finance, ticketing, HRIS), with the ability to navigate messy systems and still deliver reliable outcomes.
Impact-driven approach to technology: You use technology to drive measurable user and business outcomes, not as an end in itself. You stay current with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI-assisted development environments, and you’re pragmatic about choosing what delivers the most value.
Thoughtful problem-solving: You start with a clear understanding of context, align technical and non-technical partners, and translate AI concepts into actionable business outcomes. You navigate ambiguity and decompose complex problems into clean solutions.
Empathetic communication and collaboration: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly and enjoy collaborating across engineering, data, and business teams.
Familiarity with security, privacy, and governance for AI (access controls, PII handling, vendor/tool risk, auditability).
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 experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply.
