The Product

The best way to understand Notion is to play with the product: www.notion.so.

Or, read the story behind the product: www.notion.so/about

We've heard Notion described many ways. It can be as simple as a blank piece of paper, making writing feel light and delightful. It can be as complex as a relational database that stores huge amounts of data. We sometimes compare it to a set of Legos (if Legos were designed by The New York Times). But at its core, Notion is a toolbox of software building blocks that let you manage your life and work however you find most useful.

And here's how the press has talked about us:

We're also really lucky to have a big, passionate community that produces Notion content (see this and this). And don't forget to check out our Twitter account @NotionHQ.

So, what will you do as a Mobile Engineer at Notion?

• You'll work with the team to build new product features, focusing on the iOS and Android apps — such as a more polished typing experience on mobile.
• You'll build improvements to the performance, reliability, and polish of our iOS and Android apps. Think business critical pushes, like improving the startup time of our apps.
• You'll build and improve internal tools with simplicity and productivity in mind — for example, building a tool to ease deployment of new versions of Notion's apps.

This might be for you if...

• You've built and maintained quality iOS or Android apps (ideally both!) that have reached a large audience.
• You can readily learn most technologies as you go. To you, technologies are about tools and tradeoffs, not an ideology.
• You care about the business implications of anything you build. You're not just going after cool stuff — you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line.
• You get excited about working on different parts of the stack. We’re a small team where people are encouraged to contribute across the code base.
• You're fluent in several of: Objective-C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, React, and TypeScript.
• Bonus: You're familiar with the work of computing and science heroes like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, etc.—and understand why we're big fans.
