About Us:

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able to tailor their software to solve any problem and take on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and craft.

We've been working on this together since 2016, and have customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.

About The Role:

The mission of the Business Technology team is to be a strategic and responsive thought-partner to drive Notion's critical go-to-market and foundation goals. This team is comprised of techno-functional subject matter experts who can collaborate with business partners to define problems, identify the right tool(s) to address these issues, and design and implement the appropriate solutions to drive the business forward.

As the leader of the Enterprise Architecture and Delivery function, you will design Notion’s integrated system architecture to ensure it aligns well with the business’ organizational structure and processes.

• Critically evaluate new tooling requests and provide recommendations on new technologies to deliver business capability requirements while embracing ‘Notion on Notion’ principles to solve our needs wherever possible

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• 6+ years of hands on technical systems architecture experience and integrated data processes
