Job Summary

We're looking for a Senior Backend Software Development Engineer (SDE 2 and SDE 3) with deep technical expertise in building and operating production systems at scale. You'll own entire components/services within microservices and data pipelines that handle ~200K queries per second and process petabytes of data daily. This role demands hands-on coding excellence, strong Low-Level Design (LLD) skills, and complete ownership—from component architecture through infrastructure management to cost optimization. You'll architect solutions, lead technical decisions, and drive operational excellence while shipping code daily.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Component Ownership: Own one or more critical components/services end-to-end—responsible for architecture, development, deployment, operations, and evolution
  • Technical Ownership: Own the entire lifecycle of your components—design, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring, incident response, and continuous improvement
  • Low-Level Design: Create detailed technical designs (LLD) for complex systems—defining data models, APIs, concurrency patterns, and failure modes
  • Hands-on Development: Write production-grade code daily—this is not a purely architectural role; you'll be deep in the codebase
  • Infrastructure Ownership: Own and operate the infrastructure your components run on—capacity planning, scaling, reliability improvements
  • Cost Management: Drive cost optimization for owned components—analyze spending, identify waste, implement efficient architectures
  • Scale & Performance: Build and optimize systems handling 200K+ QPS and petabyte-scale data processing
  • Observability: Design and implement comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and debugging capabilities for owned components
  • Incident Leadership: Lead incident response for your components and related services, conduct post-mortems, drive systemic improvements
  • On-Call Excellence: Participate in on-call rotations and ensure your components are operationally sound (runbooks, alerts, dashboards)
  • Technical Roadmap: Define and drive the technical roadmap for your owned components—balancing feature development, tech debt, and operational improvements
  • Technical Mentorship: Guide junior and mid-level engineers on system design, code quality, and production best practices
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with product, infra, and other eng teams to define requirements and deliver solutions
  • Agile Execution: Break down complex projects, deliver incrementally in daily cadence, iterate based on feedback


Required Qualifications:

  • Experience: 2+ years building and operating backend systems in production environments at scale
  • Education: B.E./B.Tech in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
  • Component Ownership: Proven track record of owning significant components or services from inception to maturity—demonstrable end-to-end ownership
  • Low-Level Design (LLD): Proven ability to create detailed technical designs—data structures, algorithms, API contracts, concurrency models, failure handling
  • Programming Mastery: Expert-level proficiency in at least one modern language (Go, Python, Java, NodeJS etc.) with track record of writing maintainable, performant production code
  • Databases: Deep hands-on experience with SQL and NoSQL databases—schema design, query optimization, indexing strategies, operational troubleshooting
  • Microservices at Scale: Extensive experience building, deploying, and operating microservices handling high throughput and large data volumes
  • Data Pipelines: Strong background designing and running data processing pipelines at scale (batch and/or streaming)
  • Observability: Expert understanding of metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting—you know how to make systems debuggable
  • Production Operations: Significant experience with incident response, on-call rotations, debugging live issues under pressure
  • Infrastructure Knowledge: Hands-on experience managing infrastructure, understanding resource utilization, capacity planning
  • Cost Consciousness: Experience analyzing and optimizing infrastructure costs at scale
  • Distributed Systems: Strong fundamentals in distributed systems, concurrency, consistency models, and failure scenarios
  • Accountability: Track record of taking full ownership—from design through deployment to ongoing operations and improvements


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure) including cost management tools
  • Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale
  • Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.)
  • Streaming data systems (Kafka, Pub/Sub, Kinesis, Flink, etc.)
  • SRE principles and reliability engineering practices
  • Experience with FinOps or infrastructure cost optimization
  • Performance profiling and optimization (CPU, memory, I/O)
  • Technical leadership experience including mentorship of teams and driving multi-component initiatives
  • Open source contributions or recognized technical writing

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:

Millions of people use Notion — and this number is increasing every day. That means a million people trust us to deliver a fast, reliable, and secure experience, 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. This is where you come in — to help us forge a performant and reliable path forward to the future.

What You'll Achieve:

  • Write clean, secure, tested, and documented code.
  • Design & enhance the Notion platform with new capabilities, as and when the need arises.
  • Contribute to monitoring & scaling the architecture of the platform and the infrastructure.
  • Write technical documentation, and contribute to determining internal processes.
  • Contribute to recruiting of new backend employees

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

  • 6+ years of experience building scalable platforms. 
  • Good understanding of database (Relational Or Nosql) internals like transactions, indexes. Experience in schema design.
  • 2+ years of experience working on the AWS platform, and acquaintance with technologies like Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lambda, Elastic Load Balancer.
  • Good understanding of docker internals.
  • Good communication skills, good leadership skills, attention to detail, a sound understanding of algorithms, and object-oriented programming.

Nice to Haves:

  • You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js, Memcached, Postgres, Docker, and Elasticsearch.
  • 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.
  • You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.

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.

Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate in hiring or any employment decision based on race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, genetic information, veteran status, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
