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 feels 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, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute.

About The Role

We’re looking for an AI Applications Engineer to help drive Notion’s business transformation efforts. In this role, you’ll be a strategic partner to our internal stakeholders (primarily GTM, Finance and People teams) and deliver and scale creative AI-driven solutions to multi-faceted problems with measurable business impact. You’ll also build reusable components, evaluation patterns, and operational guardrails that make AI delivery repeatable across teams.

What You’ll Achieve

• Work with stakeholders to discover opportunities from ambiguous problem statements, translate them into scoped solutions, and drive iterative releases from idea to adoption

• Build and ship end‑to‑end AI solutions—from problem framing through data readiness, modeling, evaluation, and production rollout

• Establish evaluation and production-readiness patterns (metrics, monitoring, human-in-the-loop, rollout plans) so solutions are reliable at scale

• Create reusable components, tooling, templates, and playbooks that accelerate future projects and enable other teams to ship safely

Skills You’ll Need To Bring

• 4-8 years of experience as a Software Engineer or Data Engineer (or equivalent), with a track record of building and operating production systems end-to-end across application code, data, and infrastructure. Domain experience partnering with GTM and Finance is a plus.

• Experience building AI-enabled applications in production (LLMs and/or classical ML), including prompt + tool orchestration, retrieval, evaluation, and iteration based on real-world feedback.

• Strong production-readiness instincts, including observability, monitoring, quality gates, incident response, and safe rollouts/rollbacks in live business workflows.

• Systems and integration fluency across APIs, data pipelines, and enterprise tools (e.g., CRM, finance, ticketing, HRIS), with the ability to navigate messy systems and still deliver reliable outcomes.

• Impact-driven approach to technology: You use technology to drive measurable user and business outcomes, not as an end in itself. You stay current with tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI-assisted development environments, and you’re pragmatic about choosing what delivers the most value.

• Thoughtful problem-solving: You start with a clear understanding of context, align technical and non-technical partners, and translate AI concepts into actionable business outcomes. You navigate ambiguity and decompose complex problems into clean solutions.

• Empathetic communication and collaboration: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly and enjoy collaborating across engineering, data, and business teams.

• Familiarity with security, privacy, and governance for AI (access controls, PII handling, vendor/tool risk, auditability).

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 make it explicit in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, move faster, and build more creatively.
