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:

The Monetization team makes it simple and trustworthy for customers to purchase and grow with Notion. Our work spans billing infrastructure, pricing and packaging, AI usage‑based billing, and the experiences that help customers understand what they pay for.

We’re looking for an experienced software engineer to be a technical leader on the Monetization team. You’ll focus on the foundations of how Notion charges customers: plans, entitlements, payments, invoices, and AI usage. You will work closely with product, design, finance, data, and go‑to‑market partners to ship changes that are both technically sound and business‑critical.

This is a great role if you enjoy hard systems problems (correctness, performance, reliability) and also like seeing your work show up directly in how customers buy and use a product.

What You'll Achieve:

• Design and evolve the architecture for Notion’s billing and pricing systems so we can launch new plans, add‑ons, and AI usage models without repeated rewrites

• Own end‑to‑end projects that touch multiple systems and teams, from early technical design through rollout and iteration

• Improve the reliability, observability, and correctness of our monetization flows (for example, preventing double‑billing, missed invoices, or quota drift)

• Partner with product and business stakeholders to turn ambiguous monetization ideas into clear technical plans and shipping milestones

• Help other engineers grow by reviewing designs and code, sharing best practices, and setting a high bar for craft on the team

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Significant experience building and operating complex backend systems in production

• Strong skills in system design, data modeling, and working with transactional, correctness‑sensitive domains

• A track record of leading projects that required coordination across multiple teams or stakeholders

• Clear, empathetic communication with both technical and non‑technical partners

• A bias toward simple, robust solutions over clever ones, and comfort working in an evolving product area like pricing and billing

Nice to Haves:

• Experience with payments, billing, or usage‑based pricing is a plus, but not required—strong engineers who are excited about this space can ramp quickly.

We hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds because we want our global employee base to represent the wide diversity of our customers. If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If you’re a builder at heart, share our company values, and enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want to hear from you.
