Summary Generated by Built In

About Us:

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 Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, 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).

About The Role:

As Notion continues to grow rapidly, we're seeking talented data engineers to join our team and help us scale our data infrastructure, automation and tools to meet growing business needs. Your work will accelerate the decision-making process of key product and business functions by giving people access to the tools they need to work with data effectively. If you're passionate about enabling analytics use cases, building data systems, and solving complex data problems, then this is the team for you!

What You'll Achieve:

  • You'll help accelerate data users productivity by empowering your fellow engineers & teammates with data tooling and systems
  • You'll design, build, and maintain our data infrastructure services and tools such as data orchestration, compute resources, monitoring and alerting tooling while ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.
  • You'll partner with data scientists and other internal stakeholders to understand their needs and then design, build and monitor pipelines that meet today's requirements and can gracefully scale with our growing data size

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • You are a self-starter and continuously gather and synthesize high-impact needs from business partners, designing and implementing the appropriate technical solutions, and effectively communicating about deliverables, timelines and tradeoffs
  • You've spent 2+ years as a data engineer or a software engineer with a strong interest in data. You are passionate about analytics use cases, data tools, infrastructure, data models and solving complex data problems
  • You have hands-on experience shipping scalable data solutions in the cloud (e.g AWS, GCP, Azure), across multiple data stores (e.g Snowflake, Redshift, Hive, SQL/NoSQL, columnar storage formats) and methodologies (e.g dimensional modeling, data marts, star/snowflake schemas)
  • You are familiar with infrastructure tooling such as Terraform, and have worked with technologies such as Snowflake, Spark, AWS Infrastructure, Airflow
  • You are highly comfortable with SQL and object-oriented programming paradigms (e.g Python, Java, Scala)

Nice to Haves:

  • You’ve worked at a fast-growing company, a SaaS company or are eager to contribute in such an environment (being a current Notion user would also be great!)
  • You have hands-on experience in designing and building highly scalable and reliable data pipelines for product and business use cases

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. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
