Software Engineer, Trust

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 feels 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, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute.

Millions of people use Notion — and this number is increasing every day. That means millions of people, from students to large enterprises, trust us to keep their data secure and private, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep earning trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the tools they can build in Notion.

Notion is looking for software engineers who are excited to make trust and security a core part of how Notion scales.

• Build authentication and other product features that make Notion safe and secure by default, helping more people and teams trust Notion for their most important work while supporting growth across consumers and enterprise customers.

• Build scalable, AI-powered systems to detect, investigate, and mitigate risks across Notion, including phishing, spam, objectionable content, scraping, private API abuse, account takeover, and other forms of fraud and abuse.

• Shape the future of AI safety at Notion by building controls and guardrails for Notion AI, custom agents, and emerging AI workflows—helping make Notion the trusted AI workspace for individuals, teams, and enterprises.

• Partner across Trust & Safety, Engineering, Security, Legal, Data, and Product to make trust, privacy, and security a core part of how Notion scales.

• You have 5–8 years of experience building or securing products.

• Domain Expertise: You have experience and a strong passion for trust, safety, authentication, security, or privacy.

• Team player: You understand when work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

• 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.

• Experience using AI (LLMs and/or classical ML) to solve trust or security problems at scale.

• Experience building AI-enabled applications in production (LLMs and/or classical ML)

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