Who We Are 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. About The Role The Hyderabad Infra team builds and maintains Notion's internal async task runner and configuration management platform. The async task runner plays a critical role in ensuring our millions of users have a fast, reliable, and secure experience. The configuration management platform enables safe, explicit configuration management for Notion's product and infrastructure engineers. As part of the Hyderabad Infra Team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to shape how Notion manages and scales its async task runner and configuration management platform, enabling innovation across the company. What You'll Achieve You will contribute to the evolution and maintenance of our async task runner to meet the needs of over 100 million global users and support the rapid growth of our product and business. With guidance from senior team members, you'll help ensure our systems remain reliable, efficient, and scalable. You'll evaluate and integrate new technologies to keep us ahead of emerging challenges. Your work will empower our engineering team to build features confidently while you grow your skills in distributed systems and infrastructure. You will develop the skills and confidence to debug live production systems with minimal disruption, whether replacing components or managing failovers. You will participate in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents to uphold service reliability and quickly restore normal operations. You will partner with product engineers and other infra teams to ensure our platforms align with evolving business needs and product goals. Skills You'll Need to Bring A software developer with at least 4 years of experience and the ability to perform well in a fast-paced environment. Systems thinker: You understand distributed systems and can design solutions that account for tradeoffs like consistency, latency, and scalability. Pragmatic problem-solver: You prioritize business impact and understand the balance between craft, speed, and long-term maintainability. You’re opinionated but not ideological, and you learn new technologies as you go. Ownership and initiative: You thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured environment and are comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems. You act with a bias toward action and focus on results. Customer Empathy: You excel at collaborating across teams, offering guidance and solutions to unblock engineers and support them in building reliable systems. With empathy at the core of your approach, you focus on addressing the needs of those who depend on the async task runner. 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. By clicking “Submit Application”, I understand and agree that Notion and its affiliates and subsidiaries will collect and process my information in accordance with Notion’s Global Recruiting Privacy Policy . #LI-Onsite A Note on AI 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. Equal Opportunity & Accommodations We hire talented people from a wide range of backgrounds.

Notion is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristic.

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. About The Role Build AI-powered developer experience that makes engineers enabled. You’ll join our Developer Experience team, united by the mission of “Engineers can do their work quickly, easily, comfortably, and safely.” You’ll be part of a team spanning the US and India that turns ambiguous goals into shippable projects that meaningfully improve developer throughput and reliability. Your team owns AI experiences, remote and local dev environments, builds and CI, deploys, testing, and verification. You’ll work on a relatively broad scope within a well-resourced team. This role is based in Hyderabad, India. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. What You'll Achieve You build an AI harness to auto-resolve bugs reported for the Notion app. This is high-leverage work for the engineering org and requires solid engineering to improve resolution accuracy. You improve CI and build reliability so engineers get early feedback when changes break CI. We’re committed to a 5-minute CI time and are already on track. You improve developer features for our in-house, AI-first remote development environments - helping shape the future of software engineering. You execute a shared roadmap with our US engineering team to increase developer satisfaction and enablement, informed by our DevEx survey. You collaborate with engineers across the company to deliver an industry-leading developer experience, working deeply with tools like the TypeScript language server, lint tooling, and the Notion CLI to improve developers’ day-to-day experience. Skills You'll Need to Bring Over 10 years of experience with strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of turning ambiguous goals into well-scoped, shippable milestones. Leadership: Can create technical roadmap and has a strong ability to plan and execute very large projects. Motivate the team for the goal. Enjoys learning new technologies and has demonstrated innovation through past work. Thrive in ambiguity and can solve business problems through technology. Ownership: Demonstrates strong ownership and accountability for the success of the project and the team. Collaboration: Demonstrates strong communication and collaboration skills. Able to partner with cross-functional teams and engineering teams across time zones. Experience building or operating developer tooling (CI/CD, infrastructure workflows, internal platforms) with a focus on reliability, observability, and developer trust. Comfortable with creating with AI agents and hardening them: defining guardrails, adding evaluation/testing, and iterating based on real workflow feedback. Comfortable with creating with agentic workflows: pros-cons of code based orchestration; cost analysis; scalability issues; very long running workflows; verification/ralph loops. Systems-level debugging and performance thinking; you can identify bottlenecks, choose pragmatic fixes, and avoid accidental complexity. Ability to multiply the team: clear written communication, high-quality reviews, and coaching/mentoring that helps others ship faster and better. Some knowledge about building AI harness would be additive - tool building; context harness.
