Software Engineer, Developer Platform

📋 Job Overview

As a Developer Platform engineer, you will directly contribute to the foundational pieces that make Notion extensible and connected. You will build tools, APIs, and platform experiences that help customers connect Notion to the world — bringing their apps, data, and workflows into one workspace. Your work will make it easier for developers, admins, and builders to create reliable integrations and automations on top of Notion.

🏢 About Notion

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.

🎯 The Role

You will be a key player in building the robust technical foundation that allows Notion to achieve the connected workspace vision. Your work will include both internal platform contributions that accelerate other Notion engineering teams and end-user-facing functionality that enables toolmaking ubiquity. You will be presented with challenging technical problems, as Notion’s product needs are complex. You’ll play a key role in identifying and executing against technical investments that ensure the long-term quality, reliability, and performance of Notion’s platform as we scale.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Work with a team of engineers and cross-functional partners across product, design, data science, and user research to define a product strategy and drive execution through conception, research, implementation, and maintenance.
• Evolve Developer Platform capabilities across APIs, MCP tools, and integration infrastructure that help customers automate workflows, customize Notion, and connect Notion to the tools and data they use every day.
• Contribute to the overall performance, reliability, and robustness of the Notion product, ensuring it scales elegantly across many dimensions.
• Partner with engineering leaders to identify and execute against high-leverage technical investments that ensure the long-term flexibility and sustainability of our core systems.

📌 Required Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end
• Fluency with TypeScript across both backend and frontend
• Strong product instincts: you can take a vague problem, propose a solid technical approach, and know when to cut scope
• 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

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience building developer tools like APIs and SDKs
• Experience driving teams toward shared goals and balancing business priorities with individuals’ strengths, areas of interest, and career development goals
• Familiarity with AI/agent tooling, evals, or LLM-driven product experiences
