Job Description:
About Us:We're on a mission to make it possible for every
person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to
solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our
most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the
software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change
this with focus, design, and craft.We've been working on this
together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi,
Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with
us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join
us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about
building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of
people Notion reaches worldwide.Notion is an in-person company, and
currently requires its employees to come to the office for two
Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that employees spend
the majority of their week in the office (including a third
day).About The Role:As a Core Product engineer, you will directly
contribute to the foundational pieces of Notion's building blocks.
You will be a key player in building a robust technical foundation
that allows Notion to achieve the connected workspace vision. Your

accelerate other Notion engineering teams, and end-user facing
functionality to enable toolmaking ubiquity. The team acts as a
multiplier for the engineering organization, has outsize impact on
how fast Notion grows, and guides the full-stack direction.

as Notion's product needs are complex. You'll also play a key role

operating principles, team culture, and much more.What You'll

define a product strategy and drive execution through conception,
research, implementation, and maintenance.You'll build and maintain

world-class product experiences alongside a team of
engineers.Shipping quality user interfaces: You partner closely
with product and design to craft beautiful user experiences for
large audiences, leveraging web technologies like HTML, CSS,
JavaScript, and a modern UI framework like React. If you've
experienced the technical challenges of rapid growth, that's a
plus.Building the team: You enjoy collaborating with both fellow
engineers and cross-functional partners. You are a lifelong learner
and invest in both your own growth, but also the growth, learning,
and development of your teammates.Thoughtful problem-solving: You
approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate
understanding of the context. You think critically about the
implications of what you're building and how it will impact real
people's lives. You can navigate ambiguity flawlessly, decompose
complex problems into clean solutions, while also balancing the
business impact of what you're building.Not ideological about
technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are
about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological
and can learn new technologies as you go.Empathetic communication:
You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining
technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In
disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and
compromise when needed.Nice to Haves:You're proficient with any
