Software Engineer, New Grad (AI)

About the role

This role may be aligned to one of multiple AI-focused teams at Notion. Depending on team match and business needs, you could work on: AI product engineering, building model-powered features end-to-end (UX, APIs, retrieval, orchestration, quality, and reliability); Model & systems engineering, improving model integration and performance (latency, cost, safety, robustness) and building the infrastructure that supports model serving and experimentation; Evaluation & quality (evals), creating evaluation frameworks and automated/ human-in-the-loop testing to measure and improve model and product quality.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or another related field.
• Must be able to start full time prior to July 27, 2026.
• Previous internship experience.
• Working towards a proficiency of one or more programming languages such as Typescript, React, Python, etc.

Skills

• Expertise building and prototyping: You’re excited to build and iterate quickly, and you’ve started exploring AI/ML through coursework, projects, internships, or hackathons. You’re comfortable learning how different parts of a product fit together (UI, APIs, data), have some familiarity with relational databases like Postgres or MySQL, and can take an idea from prototype to a working feature with guidance.
• Problem-solving: You’re curious and methodical. You ask good questions, break down ambiguous problems into smaller pieces, and iterate with feedback from teammates. You think about how what you build will impact users and the business.
• Communication and collaboration: You communicate clearly in writing and in meetings, and you’re comfortable learning in public—sharing early work, asking for help, and incorporating feedback. You enjoy partnering with engineers and cross-functional teammates (product, design, data).
• Impact and user focus: You care about building the right thing, not just building it quickly. You prioritize work based on user needs and outcomes, and you’re mindful that features at Notion can reach millions of people.

Nice to haves

• You have experience with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, etc.
• You’re a builder who finds joy in building software solutions for yourself or others.
• You care about the interaction between technology and society, the ways in which they inform each other, and our responsibility as technologists to be conscious of that relationship.
• 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.
