Software Engineer (Collections Experience)

Collections Experience owns the product experience for Notion’s database block and everything on top of it: properties, views, forms, permissions, and many more features

If you’ve ever typed /database in a Notion page, you’ve already used something our team built

We’re hiring an experienced software engineer to accelerate our mission to build a flexible, reliable, and intuitive primitive that gives everyone the power to model their work exactly as they imagine— from simple lists to the most complex workflows

We’re 8+ engineers, designers, and PMs across SF and NYC

You’ll work across the stack in TypeScript, ship features that touch both the data model and the UI, and help shape where the database block goes next

Design and ship new database properties and views that expand what people can model in Notion

Design permission models that hold up at the scale of our largest customers

Partner with the Agent team to grow what Notion Agent can do with databases, from tool development to eval-driven iteration

Collaborate closely with product and design on features that are ambiguous up front and require strong technical judgment to scope

Raise the bar on code review, testing, and technical design across the team

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

Strong product instincts: you can take a vague problem, propose a solid technical approach, and know when to cut scope

10+ years shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end

Experience on systems where data model decisions have long-lived consequences (databases, permissions, collaborative editing, or similar)

Fluency with TypeScript across both backend and frontend

Experience building database, spreadsheet, or workflow tools

Familiarity with AI/agent tooling, evals, or LLM-driven product experiences

Background in permissions or authorization systems at scale

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
