About Us

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

About The Role

We are looking for an architect who is excited about designing the future of Notion's internal systems, a future where AI is not an add-on, but the core engine that powers how our business operates. You will design the architecture that blends our foundational systems (Notion, Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Marketo, Gainsight) with a rapidly evolving AI layer that accelerates workflows, improves decision making, and unlocks step-change productivity across every team. This is a role for someone who thinks beyond traditional systems design and can build the blueprint for a smarter, faster, more scalable Notion.

What You Will Achieve

• Architect the end-to-end business systems landscape, integrating our core platforms with AI powered automation and agent workflows
• Design the technical foundation for our AI layer, including headless agents, interactive agents, vertical domain agents, and orchestration patterns
• Build frameworks for how Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Gainsight, and data flow into and out of AI models and decision engines
• Partner with GTM, CS, Finance, People, and Data teams to identify high impact jobs to be done and translate them into system and AI enabled solutions
• Lead architecture reviews and solution design for high stakes initiatives, ensuring choices are scalable, secure, compliant, and aligned with our long-term vision
• Create standards, patterns, and governance for automation, integrations, and system-to-system data flows
• Build documentation, diagrams, and architectural blueprints that clarify how humans, systems, and AI work together
• Serve as a thought partner to leadership on how AI can accelerate Notion's operations, reduce manual work, and create differentiated internal capabilities

Skills You Need to Bring

• Six or more years in business systems architecture, enterprise architecture, or senior technical design roles
• Deep understanding of GTM, Finance, and People systems (Salesforce, Workday, NetSuite, Gainsight, iPaaS platforms) and how they interact
• Experience designing or implementing AI-driven workflows, automation frameworks, or agent-based systems
• Strong grounding in integration patterns, data modeling, system reliability, and scalable automation
• Ability to translate business requirements into elegant, long-lasting architecture
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to influence across engineering, BizTech, RevOps, Data, and executive stakeholders
• Curiosity, experimental mindset, and the desire to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape
• A bias for action paired with a high bar for technical depth and clarity
