Notion
Engineering Manager, Core Product
Notion, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About Us
We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company 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 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.
Notion is an in-person company, requiring employees to come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and requests that they spend the majority of their week in the office (including a third day).
