About Us:

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.

About the Role:

Build the most advanced AI Meeting Notes product — and expand it into broader “AI data capture” features that help teams turn conversations into durable context, tasks, and knowledge.

Our mission is to 10x the rate of business context & data that enters Notion — optimized for agents — so teams get superhuman memory across workstreams and customers. Notion workspaces that use AI Meeting Notes already enter 6x more data on a daily basis, so we’re well on our way.

What You'll Achieve:

  • Ship end-to-end product experiences across capture → transcript → summary → follow-ups (full-stack ownership).

  • Make meeting & data capture feel effortless and magical (e.g., speaker identification via audio waveforms, richer in-meeting UX, smarter organization).

  • Improve summary quality that teams trust: structure, factuality, and citations that make downstream agents and humans more capable.

  • Raise the bar on reliability & observability across the pipeline (SLOs, debugging workflows, incident response) for realtime systems.

  • Build agentic meeting workflows that turn discussions into tasks, follow-ups, and organized knowledge — so “we talk and things get done.”

  • Deliver enterprise readiness: sharing/permissions, compliance, and scalability for our fastest-growing customers.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • Strong full-stack engineering skills (frontend + backend) and excitement to own user-facing product end-to-end.

  • Product-minded craftsmanship: you sweat details, iterate quickly, and use data and user feedback to guide decisions.

  • Experience building and operating production systems (debugging, on-call/incident response, performance, and reliability).

  • Ability to work across ambiguous problem spaces, align stakeholders, and drive execution with high ownership.

  • 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.

Nice to Haves:

  • Experience with LLM / applied AI product development (prompting, evals, model integrations, or quality measurement).

  • Experience with media / realtime pipelines (audio, transcription, diarization, streaming, low-latency processing).

  • Experience building for enterprise customers (permissions models, compliance, scale, and security).

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.

Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.

Notion is also committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans in our job application procedures. If you need assistance or an accommodation due to a disability, please let your recruiter know.

Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits.
