Software Engineer | Developer Experience

The senior counterpart to Notion's infrastructure seat, on a Developer Experience team spanning the US and India whose stated mission is that engineers can work quickly, easily, comfortably and safely. The scope is broad: AI experiences, remote and local development environments, builds and CI, deploys, testing and verification. The headline project is building an AI harness that automatically resolves bugs reported against the Notion app, which is genuinely high leverage work. There is also a concrete reliability target worth noting, a five minute CI time that the posting says they are already on track for. The tooling named is the TypeScript language server, lint tooling and Notion's own CLI. Over ten years is the stated bar. Hyderabad, three anchor days a week.

⚠️ Location note: Notion's job board marks this posting as remote, but the body states plainly that the role is based in Hyderabad, India, and that the team works from the office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (described as anchor days). The posting also carries an onsite tag. We have published Hyderabad with three office days, because the body is the specific statement. Do not plan around remote work here.

What the posting asks for:
- Over 10 years of experience with strong software engineering fundamentals and a track record of turning ambiguous goals into well scoped, shippable milestones.
- Leadership in the technical sense: the ability to create a technical roadmap, plan and execute very large projects, and motivate a team towards a goal.
- Enjoyment of learning new technologies and a demonstrated record of innovation.
- Experience building or operating developer tooling such as CI/CD, infrastructure workflows or internal platforms, with a focus on reliability, observability and developer trust.

Day to day:
- Building an AI harness to auto resolve bugs reported for the Notion app, which the posting calls high leverage work requiring solid engineering to improve resolution accuracy.
- Improving CI and build reliability so engineers get early feedback when a change breaks the build. The posting states a five minute CI target that the team is already tracking towards.
- Improving developer features for Notion's in house, AI first remote development environments.
- Executing a shared roadmap with the US engineering team, informed by an internal developer experience survey.
- Working with the TypeScript language server, lint tooling and the Notion CLI.

Honest fit guidance: ten years plus is a high floor for a role with no people management attached, so this is aimed at a genuinely senior individual contributor. The leadership described is roadmap and influence rather than direct reports. If you like platform and tooling work more than product features, the scope here is wider than most developer experience roles.
