Notion

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 As an engineer at Notion, you’ll help shape core user experiences and accelerate how people discover value in Notion. You'll tackle meaningful challenges with increasing autonomy, crafting code that millions of users will experience. You'll take ownership of projects that matter, make critical technical decisions, and contribute your unique perspective to our product vision. Working alongside passionate experts across design, product, and data, you'll help shape the future of how people work. We're looking for an New Grad AI Engineer to join as a strategic partner in shaping Notion's AI vision. You'll work on cutting-edge AI-powered features, leveraging LLMs, embeddings, and other AI technologies to make Notion more intelligent and capable. This role may be aligned to one of multiple AI-focused teams at Notion. Depending on team match and business needs, you could work on: * AI product engineering: building model-powered features end-to-end (UX, APIs, retrieval, orchestration, quality, and reliability) * Model & systems engineering: improving model integration and performance (latency, cost, safety, robustness) and building the infrastructure that supports model serving and experimentation * Evaluation & quality (evals): creating evaluation frameworks and automated/ human-in-the-loop testing to measure and improve model and product quality WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE * Partner with your team to prototype and ship an AI-powered product improvement * Own a scoped productionization project: integrate a new model/technique into an existing workflow, add monitoring + guardrails, or improve latency/cost/reliability. * Contribute to evals and iteration loops: build or extend an evaluation set, run experiments, analyze results, and translate learnings into product or system changes. QUALIFICATIONS * Pursuing a bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or another related field. Must be able to start full time prior to July 27, 2026. * Previous internship experience. * Working towards a proficiency of one or more programming languages such as Typescript, React, Python, etc. SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING * Expertise building and prototyping: You’re excited to build and iterate quickly, and you’ve started exploring AI/ML through coursework, projects, internships, or hackathons. You’re comfortable learning how different parts of a product fit together (UI, APIs, data), have some familiarity with relational databases like Postgres or MySQL, and can take an idea from prototype to a working feature with guidance. * Problem-solving: You’re curious and methodical. You ask good questions, break down ambiguous problems into smaller pieces, and iterate with feedback from teammates. You think about how what you build will impact users and the business. * Communication and collaboration: You communicate clearly in writing and in meetings, and you’re comfortable learning in public—sharing early work, asking for help, and incorporating feedback. You enjoy partnering with engineers and cross-functional teammates (product, design, data). * Impact and user focus: You care about building the right thing, not just building it quickly. You prioritize work based on user needs and outcomes, and you’re mindful that features at Notion can reach millions of people. NICE TO HAVES * You have experience with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, etc. * You’re a builder who finds joy in building software solutions for yourself or others * You care about the interaction between technology and society, the ways in which they inform each other, and our responsibility as technologists to be conscious of that relationship. * You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work. Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role’s scope and complexity, and the candidate’s experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco and New York, the estimated base salary range for this role is $126,000-$146,000. 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.
