About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

About The Role:

You'll lead the engineering team responsible for developing the API that is at the core of Notion's developer ecosystem. You'll work with the team to deliver a high-quality developer experience, and enable developers to extend Notion in powerful ways. Engineering managers at Notion are responsible for creating and fostering the user-focused, collaborative, and high-performing teams that build products to help everyone be a toolmaker.

What You'll Achieve:

• You'll build and manage a diverse and inclusive team of engineers working on Notion's API.
• You'll recruit, coach, and develop engineers; you'll ensure engineers are regularly receiving feedback and that they are making rapid progress on personal and professional goals.
• You'll facilitate planning—the prioritization, sequencing, and staffing of work—for your team.
• You'll be responsible for maintaining a high quality bar for everything your team ships.
• You'll collaborate closely with peers from other functions—Marketing, Partnerships, Support, and Sales, to name a few—on our overall API strategy, ongoing maintenance and support, and rolling out features to a broad set of audiences: third-party developers, integration partners, enterprise customers, and end users.
• You'll work with others to shape how Notion's engineering organization works—you'll help develop our technical practices, recruiting and onboarding strategy, planning and prioritization process, and more.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• You have managed engineering teams with a record of shipping high-quality products—bonus points for having worked on public-facing APIs and developer-facing products.
• You have built, or are committed to building, diverse and inclusive teams.
• You create team environments that are at once collaborative, empowering, supportive, and challenging—ones where engineers do their best work.
• You have a sufficiently deep background in product and technology that you can ask the right questions of your team, balance product, tech, and people concerns, and make hard tradeoffs.
• You have a high tolerance for ambiguity and change, especially around organizational structure and the boundaries of your role. You enjoy jumping into whatever areas need attention and learning as-you-go.
• You value empathetic and direct communication, particularly when giving and receiving feedback.

Nice to Haves:

• You have managed engineering teams at startups before, particularly during periods of rapid growth and organizational change.
• You've managed teams that are partially (or entirely) remote.
• 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.

Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for small businesses, you will find a home at Notion.
