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:

You’ll lead the Mobile AI engineering team, responsible for making Notion AI genuinely useful on phones and tablets. Mobile is where AI needs to work in the moment: when users are capturing ideas, catching up between meetings, asking questions, or trying to move work forward away from their desk.

What You'll Achieve:

  • Define and evolve the roadmap for Notion’s core mobile AI surfaces, including chat, capture, agent workflows, workspace Q&A, and lightweight creation flows.

  • Take new mobile AI ideas from exploration to shipped product, using prototypes, user feedback, and product data to decide what to build next.

  • Improve the production quality of mobile AI by identifying instrumentation gaps, reliability risks, and performance bottlenecks before they become user problems.

  • Help the team build the right technical foundations for fast iteration across mobile, web, and server boundaries.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • Engineering leadership: You have 2+ years managing engineering teams and have helped teams ship high-quality products at scale.

  • Hands-on technical leadership: You stay close enough to the code to guide architecture, performance, reliability, and release-quality decisions — and can make small contributions when it helps the team move faster.

  • AI product curiosity: You don’t need to be an AI researcher, but you are hands-on with AI tools and curious about how AI changes product development, engineering workflows, and user expectations.

  • Execution through ambiguity: You can turn open-ended product bets into clear strategy, sequencing, staffing, and delivery.

  • Cross-functional leadership: You work well with across different functions to define problems and ship polished outcomes.

  • People leadership: You recruit, coach, and grow engineers, build an inclusive team, and communicate clearly through disagreement.

Nice to Haves:

  • You’ve led teams building AI product experiences involving streaming UX, tool use, voice or multimodal input, evaluation loops, or reliability guardrails.

  • You’ve managed teams through 0→1 product development or fast iteration on new product surfaces.

  • You have experience with mobile platform concerns such as offline resilience, realtime collaboration, rich-text editing, app performance, or release quality at scale.

  • You’ve led teams delivering end-to-end product experiences across mobile, web, and server boundaries.

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.
