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:

You’ll design and implement reliable, secure, and scalable workplace systems across identity, SaaS, automation, and endpoint/VDI programs—including desktop applications, web applications, and API-based integrations—while partnering closely with IT Operations and Security.

What You'll Achieve:

• Design and implement cross-functional IT solutions (IAM/SSO, SaaS integrations, device/VDI, and workflow automation) that improve productivity and reliability

• Own technical deliverables end-to-end: discovery, solution design, implementation, documentation, and operational handoff

• Partner with Security/AppSec to review designs and ensure pragmatic, risk-appropriate controls

• Collaborate with IT Operations to build runbooks, monitoring, and escalation paths so solutions are supportable at scale

• Automate repetitive work (provisioning, access lifecycle, audits, reporting) using APIs, scripts, and infrastructure-as-code where appropriate

• Become a technical advisor for stakeholders, translating business needs into system design, tradeoffs, and clear execution plans

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Growth mindset with a tinkerer's nature—you love to code and enjoy building solutions to complex problems

• 2+ years in Solutions/Systems Engineering, IT Engineering, or similar roles delivering internal platforms and workflows

• Strong fundamentals in identity and access (SAML/OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, group lifecycle, least privilege)

• Experience integrating SaaS tools (Okta/Entra, Google Workspace/O365, Slack, Jira/GitHub, etc.) and troubleshooting auth/provisioning flows

• Proficiency writing automation in Python, TypeScript, Bash, or PowerShell, with familiarity in CI/CD and version control

• Ability to produce clear documentation (design docs, runbooks, and stakeholder updates) and drive alignment across teams

• Proven experience with Infrastructure-as-Code and IaaS

• Pragmatic security mindset with strong debugging skills across logs, APIs, and system behavior

• AI-forward mindset—hands-on with tools like Notion AI, Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor to work smarter
