Software Engineer, Mail (Frontend)

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 OpenAI, Toyota, Figma, Ramp, 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:

Email isn’t going anywhere — but it can be a lot better. We're building Notion Mail to rethink how communication fits into the bigger picture of your work and life. As a Software Engineer on our team, you’ll help create an email experience that's fast, delightful, and seamlessly woven into everything people already love about Notion. You'll collaborate across engineering, product, and design to bring new ideas to life — and you’ll have tons of room to shape the foundations of a product still in its early days. If you get excited about big challenges, moving fast, and making everyday tools a little more magical, we’d love to work with you.

What You’ll Achieve:

• As part of a small, high-impact team, you’ll have outsized influence on the product’s direction, setting architectural patterns, and contributing to frontend best practices
• You’ll work with a team of engineers and cross-functional partners across product, design, data science, and user research to define a product strategy and drive execution through conception, research, implementation, and maintenance.
• You’ll build and innovate on AI powered email features, such as auto-labeling and AI-assisted drafting. You’ll help shape workflows to make email smarter, more organized, and deeply integrated with users’ work.
• You’ll contribute to the overall performance, reliability, and robustness of Notion Mail, ensuring it scales elegantly across many dimensions.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Proven track record of execution: You have experience building 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 Typescript, CSS, and a modern UI framework like React. If you've experienced the technical challenges of rapid growth, that's a plus.
• Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad.
• Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You're not just going after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• 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.
• Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.

Nice to Haves:

• You're proficient with our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js
• You have fullstack or mobile dev experience
• You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers.

If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
