• Work closely with client stakeholders to gather business and technical requirements and translate them into well-architected solutions that maximize the value of the Notion platform within their broader technical ecosystem.

• Participate in and lead technical design sessions, documenting current and future state architectures and identifying gaps, risks, and tradeoffs.

• Design and build customer integrations, automations, and custom tooling as a part of Notion implementations.

• Act as a trusted technical advisor, helping customers make informed architectural decisions and identify opportunities to expand and deepen their use of Notion.

• Design and operate feedback loops with Product, CX, and Engineering, translating real-world implementation challenges into actionable insights, technical requirements, and tooling improvements that directly influence Notion’s product roadmap.

• Build foundational discovery frameworks, technical standards, and internal tooling that define how Professional Services delivers complex migrations and implementations at scale.

• Contribute to the evolution of the Professional Services team by developing repeatable methodologies, scoping artifacts, and contributing best practices as the team and customer footprint grow.

• 4+ years of experience in a customer facing engineering role, forward deployed engineering, or similar role, preferably in a SaaS or enterprise software environment.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Java, JavaScript, Node.js, SQL, or Python and comfort with writing production-quality code in customer-facing or internal engineering contexts.

• Hands-on experience with APIs and data integration.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and business audiences effectively.

• A track record of delivering customer value by translating technical challenges into practical solutions at scale.

• Fluency in both English and German.

• 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.

• Experience working in SaaS professional services, preferably in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Experience deploying AI agents autonomously in complex coding or business workflows.

• Background in developing technical frameworks, discovery methodologies, or internal tooling from the ground up.

• Strong history of collaboration with product and engineering teams, including influencing roadmaps or architectural decisions.
