Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. 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 RoleNotion's Data Engineering Infrastructure team keeps the platform under our data pipelines healthy, managing Snowflake, Airflow, 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 AchieveInfrastructure 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.
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.
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

A Note on AIYou don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we’ll make it explicit in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, move faster, and build more creatively.
