About Us:

Notion helps you build beautiful tools for your life’s work. In today's world of endless apps and tabs, Notion provides one place for teams to get everything done, seamlessly connecting docs, notes, projects, calendar, and email—with AI built in to find answers and automate work. Millions of users, from individuals to large organizations like Toyota, Figma, and OpenAI, love Notion for its flexibility and choose it because it helps them save time and money.

In-person collaboration is essential to Notion's culture. We require all team members to work from our offices on Mondays and Thursdays, our designated Anchor Days. Certain teams or positions may require additional in-office workdays.

About The Role

The Hyderabad Infra team builds and maintains Notion's internal async task runner and configuration management platform. The async task runner plays a critical role in ensuring our millions of users have a fast, reliable, and secure experience. The configuration management platform enables safe, explicit configuration management for Notion's product and infrastructure engineers.

As part of the Hyderabad Infra Team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to shape how Notion manages and scales its async task runner and configuration management platform, enabling innovation across the company.

What You'll Achieve

• You will contribute to the evolution and maintenance of our async task runner to meet the needs of over 100 million global users and support the rapid growth of our product and business.

• With guidance from senior team members, you'll help ensure our systems remain reliable, efficient, and scalable. You'll evaluate and integrate new technologies to keep us ahead of emerging challenges.

• Your work will empower our engineering team to build features confidently while you grow your skills in distributed systems and infrastructure.

• You will develop the skills and confidence to debug live production systems with minimal disruption, whether replacing components or managing failovers. You will participate in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents to uphold service reliability and quickly restore normal operations.

• You will partner with product engineers and other infra teams to ensure our platforms align with evolving business needs and product goals.

Skills You'll Need to Bring

• An early-career software developer with at least 1 year of experience and the ability to perform well in a fast-paced environment.

• Systems thinker: You understand distributed systems and can design solutions that account for tradeoffs like consistency, latency, and scalability.

• Pragmatic problem-solver: You prioritize business impact and understand the balance between craft, speed, and long-term maintainability. You’re opinionated but not ideological, and you learn new technologies as you go.

• 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.

• Customer Empathy: You excel at collaborating across teams, offering guidance and solutions to unblock engineers and support them in building reliable systems. With empathy at the core of your approach, you focus on addressing the needs of those who depend on the async task runner.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
