Software Engineer, New Grad

About the role

We're looking for new grad engineers to join us across several teams at Notion. Your recruiter will partner with you to find the team that best aligns with your interests and where you can make the highest impact.

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, Node.js, or Python.

Skills

• Impact-driven approach to technology: You see technologies as tools to achieve user impact rather than ends in themselves.
• 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.
• Own the outcome: You own your work, communicating clearly about progress and blockers. You don't wait for instructions for every step but rather show initiative in identifying what needs to be done and driving projects forward. You ask questions when needed while independently finding solutions to problems.
• 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.
• Passion for web applications: You can work with others to build and maintain quality user interfaces for a big audience, using Web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a modern UI framework like React.
• Familiarity with backend systems: You understand how parts of a system fit together—from the user interface to the data model. Familiarity with database systems like Postgres, MySQL or MongoDB is a plus.

Nice to Haves

• You have experience with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, and Elasticsearch.
• 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.
