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 feels 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, humanity, and building things that last — not just shipping the next feature, but setting a standard for how modern teams (with humans and agents working together) think and execute. ABOUT THE WEB INFRASTRUCTURE TEAM: The Web Infrastructure team’s mission is to empower Notion engineers with web frameworks that are easy-to-use, performant, consistent and accessible. We own web foundations such as how client code is structured, how assets are served to users and how components are standardized and rendered to users. If we do our job well, Notion engineers should be able to build performant and beautiful product fast while Notion users enjoy a frictionless experience. ABOUT THE ROLE: You’ll be a core engineer on the Web Infrastructure team, focusing on improving Notion’s web client performance and/or development velocity. You will lead projects that reduce time to render a Notion page and time to interact with the page content across the app. You will also build tooling and frameworks that help product engineers build new products with a high quality experience. WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE: - Improve Users Page Loading experience through modularizing client codebase, lazy loading or caching relevant assets for the users. - Improve Interaction Latency through make the components and other part of codebase more lightweight and efficient. - Define best practices and build developer tooling so that web engineers can develop product features more easily with confidence. SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING: - You have around
