Software Engineer, Collections Experience

About the role

Collections Experience owns the product experience for Notion’s database block and everything on top of it: properties, views, forms, permissions, and many more features. If you’ve ever typed /database in a Notion page, you’ve already used something our team built. We’re hiring an experienced software engineer to accelerate our mission to build a flexible, reliable, and intuitive primitive that gives everyone the power to model their work exactly as they imagine— from simple lists to the most complex workflows.

We’re 8+ engineers, designers, and PMs across SF and NYC. You’ll work across the stack in TypeScript, ship features that touch both the data model and the UI, and help shape where the database block goes next.

Responsibilities

• Design and ship new database properties and views that expand what people can model in Notion
• Design permission models that hold up at the scale of our largest customers
• Partner with the Agent team to grow what Notion Agent can do with databases, from tool development to eval-driven iteration
• Collaborate closely with product and design on features that are ambiguous up front and require strong technical judgment to scope
• Raise the bar on code review, testing, and technical design across the team

Requirements

• 10+ years shipping production software, with a strong track record of owning features end-to-end
• Fluency with TypeScript across both backend and frontend
• Strong product instincts: you can take a vague problem, propose a solid technical approach, and know when to cut scope
• Experience on systems where data model decisions have long-lived consequences (databases, permissions, collaborative editing, or similar)
• You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results

Nice to haves

• Experience building database, spreadsheet, or workflow tools
• Familiarity with AI/agent tooling, evals, or LLM-driven product experiences
