Company mission
To help everyone build beautiful tools for their life’s work.
Role
Who you are
- Expertise building and prototyping: You understand how parts of a system fit together, from the user interface to the data model. You are familiar with relational database systems like Postgres or MySQL, and have experience building products from ground up
- Shipping quality user interfaces: You partner closely with product and design to craft beautiful user experiences for large audiences, leveraging web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a modern UI framework like React
- Problem-solving: You approach problems holistically, starting with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You think critically about the implications of what you're building and how it will impact real people's lives. You can navigate ambiguity flawlessly, decompose complex problems into clean solutions, while also balancing the business impact of what you’re building
- Empathetic communication and collaboration: 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. You enjoy collaborating with both fellow engineers and cross-functional partners. You are a lifelong learner and invest in both your own growth and the growth, learning, and development of your teammates
- Impact-orientation and user focus: You care about business impact and prioritize projects accordingly. You understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. 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. Work isn't a solo endeavor for you, and you enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals
Desirable
- You have extensive experience building AI products using LLMs, embeddings and other ML technologies
- You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, and Postgres
- You have experience driving teams toward shared goals and can balance business priorities with individuals’ strengths, areas of interest, and career development goals
- 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
- We are looking for an AI Product Engineer to join our small but nimble AI team whose mission is to make Notion an AI-powered product
- As an AI Product Engineer, you will work on developing and implementing AI-powered products, incorporating large language models (LLMs), embeddings, and other AI technologies into Notion’s product
- Work with the team to prototype and experiment with new AI features
- Productionize and launch new AI technology integrations into Notion’s core product
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver product features on time
- Stay up-to-date with the latest AI technologies and trends
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.
