Job description

Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work.

About the Role:

Notion’s Content Onboarding team builds the systems that help customers move content into Notion, get started faster, and keep growing reliably over time. The role matters because one of Notion’s core differentiators is replacing multiple tools — that only becomes real when customers can get their information out of those tools and into Notion with confidence. You’ll partner with product and engineering leaders to shape the future of our content importers, internal administrative tooling, and compliance workflows like exports.

This role is based in Hyderabad, India. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days.

What You’ll Achieve:

• Shape the technical and product vision for Notion’s import systems, so customers can pull content from more sources and transform it into a trustworthy system of record.
• By your 90th day, you’ll have clarified the near‑term roadmap and de‑risked the most important technical decisions for importers, exports, and internal admin tooling. You’ll connect AI‑era and agentic workflow patterns to onboarding and import experiences — using AI to improve product judgment, prototyping, and engineering quality from design through production.
• By the end of your first year, engineering excellence will be a team norm: reliable systems, clear operational standards, and a shared understanding of what it takes to keep critical workflows running. You will have a steady operating rhythm with HQ while owning a clear north‑star for the Content Onboarding surface area.

Skills You’ll Need to Bring:

• Strong technical leadership: you can represent the team’s work, hold a high engineering bar, and de‑risk decisions through clear processes, delegation and senior IC  partnership.
• Ability to craft and maintain multi‑quarter team strategy, especially where outcomes depend on adjacent product and engineering teams.
• Experience developing senior  engineers, strengthening operating rhythms and building high‑performing engineering teams with durable standards.
• Distributed‑team leadership: you can set direction for a local team while staying tightly coordinated with cross‑functional partners across time zones.

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we’ll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
