Full Job Description

WHO WE ARE Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. ABOUT THE ROLE Notion's Professional Services team owns the most technical customer engagements in Japan, and we're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (formerly "Technical Architect") to be the technical owner for our most complex work. You'll partner directly with strategic customers to design and ship migrations, bespoke integrations, and production-grade AI workflows built on Notion Workers, Custom Agents, and MCP. You'll work alongside Account Executives, Solutions Engineers, Customer Success, and Engineering to turn messy requirements into solutions that stick, then turn what you learn into repeatable playbooks and product feedback. This is hands-on building inside real customer environments, not advisory work. This role is based in Tokyo, Japan. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We're looking for someone who's excited to work alongside the team during those days.   WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE - The big bet: strategic customers in Japan adopt Notion as a central platform with confidence,
