Full Job Description
About the Role

Millions of people use Notion - and this number is increasing every day. That means millions of people, from students to large enterprises, trust us to keep their data secure and private, and we value this more than anything. We want to keep earning trust, while also continuing to amaze our users with the tools they can build in Notion.

Notion is looking for software engineers who are excited to make trust and security a core part of how Notion scales.

This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. 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
  • Build authentication and other product features that make Notion safe and secure by default, helping more people and teams trust Notion for their most important work while supporting growth across consumers and enterprise customers.
  • Build scalable, AI-powered systems to detect, investigate, and mitigate risks across Notion, including phishing, spam, objectionable content, scraping, private API abuse, account takeover, and other forms of fraud and abuse.
  • Shape the future of AI safety at Notion by building controls and guardrails for Notion AI, custom agents, and emerging AI workflows-helping make Notion the trusted AI workspace for individuals, teams, and enterprises.
  • Partner across Trust & Safety, Engineering, Security, Legal, Data, and Product to make trust, privacy, and security a core part of how Notion scales.


Skills You'll Need to Bring
  • You have 5-8 years of experience building or securing products.
  • Domain Expertise: You have experience and a strong passion for trust, safety, authentication, security, or privacy.
  • Ownership and initiative: You thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured environment and are comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems. You act with a bias toward action and focus on results.
  • Team player: You understand when work is better, together. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.


Nice to Haves
  • Experience using AI (LLMs and/or classical ML) to solve trust or security problems at scale.
  • Experience building AI-enabled applications in production (LLMs and/or classical ML)
  • You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres, Dynamo, Memcached.


Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role's scope and complexity, and the candidate's experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco and New York, the estimated base salary range for this role is $200k - $280k per year.

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.
