Software Engineer, AI Workflows

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

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.

We're looking for an AI Product Engineer to join the team responsible for Notion's Custom Agents — which help teams automate their recurring workflows like filing tasks, writing reports, and answering questions in a knowledge base. As an AI Product Engineer, you'll help define and build cutting-edge AI-powered features into this core product experience, leveraging LLMs, embeddings, and other AI technologies to make Notion's Custom Agents more intelligent, capable and reliable at scale.

• Work with the team to prototype and experiment with new AI features

• Productionize and scale asynchronous workflows across Notion’s systems

• Collaborate across AI, Infrastructure and Product teams to deliver high quality experiences for users

• Stay up-to-date with the latest AI technologies and trends

• Expertise building and prototyping: You have experience building AI products using LLMs, embeddings and other ML technologies. You understand how parts of a system fit together from UI to data model, are familiar with relational databases like Postgres or MySQL, and have experience building products from ground up.

• Problem-solving: You approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You think critically about the implications of what you're building and how it will impact real people's lives. You can navigate ambiguity flawlessly, decompose complex problems into clean solutions, while also balancing the business impact of what you’re building.

• Empathetic communication and collaboration: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed. You enjoy collaborating with both fellow engineers and cross-functional partners. You are a lifelong learner and invest in both your own growth and the growth, learning, and development of your teammates.

• Impact-orientation and user focus: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. 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. Work isn't a solo endeavor for you, and you enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals.

• 10+ years shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end

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

• You have experience driving teams toward shared goals and can balance business priorities with individuals’ strengths, areas of interest, and career development goals.

• 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.

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
