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, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, our designated Anchor Days. Certain teams or positions may require additional in-office workdays.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Notion's Data Engineering Infrastructure team keeps the platform under our data pipelines healthy, managing Snowflake, Airflow, dbt, and a range of AWS services (EMR, S3, Athena, and more). You'll have the opportunity to make significant improvements in the infrastructure, reliability, observability, and CI/CD tooling that makes those pipelines possible.

You'll be the first member of the team based in India, joining a four-person team led from the US. This is a high-autonomy role, you'll ramp quickly through high-impact quick wins, then own progressively larger infrastructure projects.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:

• Infrastructure as Code — Manage and improve Terraform stacks for AWS and Snowflake resources, ensuring services are properly tracked, modularized, and secured.

• CI/CD — Harden pipelines with alerting on test failures, PR validation with plan previews and impact analysis, and deployment guardrails.

• Compute provisioning — Set up and maintain EMR clusters (and EKS in the future), track health, and scale based on workload needs.

• Observability — Configure monitoring, alerting, and dashboards to keep the platform healthy and issues visible.

• Operational coverage — Triage DAG failures, infrastructure alerts, and platform incidents during India hours, providing faster response times for the team.

SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:

• 7+ years as a software or infrastructure engineer with strong DevOps experience.

• Experience in data platform or infrastructure domains.

• Deep hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform) — you've managed large stacks and know how to modularize, optimize, and debug complex issues.

• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, including pipeline design, caching, artifact management, and deployment strategies.

• Hands-on cloud infrastructure experience (AWS preferred) across services like EMR, S3, Athena, and EKS.

• Strong SQL skills and proficiency in Python or another object-oriented language.

• Self-starter who can independently identify opportunities and execute with minimal direction.

• You don’t need to be an AI expert, but you’re curious and willing to adopt AI tools to work smarter and deliver better results.

NICE TO HAVES:

• Experience with observability tooling (e.g. Grafana, Prometheus, Honeycomb)

• Familiarity with dbt CI/CD patterns, testing, and deployment

• Experience with Apache Spark and/or EMR-based data processing

• Exposure to Snowflake administration or Snowflake Terraform management

• Experience working across time zones at a fast-growing SaaS company
