Who you are

This internship will take place from Jan 26 - Apr 17 and you will need to be able to work out of our NY or SF office during this time

Previous internship experience
Working towards a proficiency of one or more programming languages such as Typescript, Node.js, Go, Python, Java, Swift, Rust, or Kotlin
You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them
You are able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context
You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates
You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck
For a backend internship: You have a passion for learning how parts of a system fit together—from the user interface to the data model

For a frontend internship: You have a passion for learning technologies (CSS, Javascript, & React) and best practices in front-end architecture, including performance, accessibility and usability
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
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

Desirable

You have expertise with specific technologies that are part of our stack, including Typescript, React, Electron, Node.js, AWS, and Postgres
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
You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences

What the job involves

You will be a part of our first engineering internship class and will help us forge a performant and reliable path forward to Notion's future
During your 12-week internship, you will be paired with a mentor that will help guide you as you work closely with our team to build and ship impactful projects
These projects will drive valuable impact to our customers and engineers
From product engineering, mobile, to infrastructure and security, we have opportunities available on different teams
You'll write clean, secure, tested, and documented code
Design & enhance the Notion platform with new capabilities, as and when the need arises

Develop, fix and debug software for web services, databases, applications, tools, networks

Our take

Managing busy workflows using fragmented systems can be a headache for both individuals and businesses. Notion aims to combat this problem by enabling users to work from one central hub, customizing their workflows to suit their exact needs. This includes managing files, scheduling tasks, saving documents, writing to-do-lists, and setting reminders.

The company counts enterprise companies such as McDonald’s, The Wall Street Journal, Verizon, Samsung, and IBM as its customers. In spite of economic uncertainty, Notion reached a $2 billion valuation in 2020, helped by record signups as more people were forced to work from home. Its value has since risen to over 5 times this value, an impressive reflection of its success.

The company has made a number of strategic acquisitions that, coupled with its enormous market value and enviable customer list, have Notion well-placed to continue dominating the market. That being said, the launch of Microsoft-built competitor Loop at the end of 2023 will put Notion's market dominance to the test.
