Hiring: Software Engineer, User Database Infrastructure Company: Notion Location: San Francisco, CA Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 22:01:03 Target Skills & Keywords : MySQL, Node.js, Notion, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript About the job Required Skills: •This role will be based in San Francisco. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. •You’ll build the systems that let any knowledge worker leverage fast, scalable databases without having to become a DBA. •You’ll be a hands-on technical leader, helping set the architectural direction and roadmap as we take a new product from early alpha to general availability. You’ll work directly with early customers to shape foundational technical and product decisions. Then, together, we’ll work on scaling as adoption and workloads grow. •You’ll help shape the architecture and the product together. Some problems call for a better abstraction, others for a better default, and others for rethinking what we ask the user to do in the first place. You’ll work with teammates and customers to find those answers, ship practical solutions, and evolve them as usage grows. •Our stack includes Postgres, Go, TypeScript, Node.js, and React. •The people who understand a business best aren’t always the people who can build its software. A support lead knows how tickets should be triaged. An operations manager knows how inventory should move. But turning that knowledge into a reliable system often means finding an engineer, provisioning a database, and building an application. •We’re building database infrastructure for everyone else. We want everyday knowledge workers to bring their data into Notion, connect it, and build workflows around it. And do so with the power of a real database (Postgres!) and the approachability of a tool they already know. •AI agents make that opportunity even bigger: helping people build and operate systems they couldn’t have created on their own. Compensation: •$299,000 - $334,000 / year •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) •Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
