Software Engineer, Notion

• Strong infrastructure knowledge: Experience with deploy systems, observability platforms(Opentelemetry infrastructure), and monitoring tools. Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions
• Communication skills: Must be responsive and comfortable helping engineers with their day-to-day development experience, particularly in a busy Slack environment
• Multitasker and present: you like interrupts especially if this is blocking engineers.You switch between your project work and day to day observability and deploy challenges
• Interest in learning how things work: you love to learn how the tools you use work at a fundamental level. You get excited at the idea of digging into third-party source code to understand how they work and find new ways to use them
• Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You don't just go after cool stuff—you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. 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
