Software Engineer, Notion

• MacOS development experience: You have built native macOS applications in the past (ideally with experience using Objective-C) and want to continue working on the platform
• Enthusiasm to learn TypeScript, React, and Node.js: While ****we are primarily looking for macOS expertise, this role will require working with our web stack. No previous experience is required and we’ll provide the guidance and space needed to ramp up
• 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
• 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

Desirable

• We have several Electron core maintainers on our team to drive cross-platform features and would love to add platform-specific expertise - someone who has experience building native macOS applications and is excited about building applications that honor and meet the possibilities of the operating system. This will help us serve our macOS users, including many Notinos, better
• What You'll Achieve:
• You’ll define the roadmap for macOS features in Notion
• You’ll leverage macOS native audio to allow users to create content on Desktop
• We value building high quality apps. You'll improve the performance, reliability, and polish of our macOS app. You will also get to work with the web stack to improve the end-to-end experience - for instance by building native Node.js addons in C++, Rust, or Objective-C to allow our web code to hook directly into native UIs and APIs
• You'll help build and improve internal tools with simplicity and productivity in mind
• If you’re interested, you have the chance to contribute to or become a maintainer of one of the most-used open source projects - Electron, a cross-platform C++ and Objective-C framework. Electron’s Objective-C powers 1Password, Figma, Slack, Visual Studio Code, and countless other apps on macOS. Help us make them better!
