About the Role:

As the Tech Lead for Integrations at Notion, you'll shape how our platform seamlessly connects with the broader software ecosystem. You'll drive the technical vision and execution for secure, scalable, and intuitive integrations with critical enterprise tools—such as Microsoft 365, Atlassian, Salesforce, and Google Workspace. Your work will enable customers to effortlessly incorporate Notion into their daily workflows and maximize its value across their technology stacks.

This role is inherently cross-functional, bridging Engineering, Product, Security, Sales, Solutions Engineering, and directly engaging with customers. You’ll craft solutions addressing complex enterprise requirements, laying the groundwork for scalable integration capabilities that support our strategic AI initiatives and customer-centric growth.

What You'll Achieve:

• Scalable Systems: Develop robust frameworks and tooling to streamline, accelerate, and secure the delivery of integrations, establishing scalable infrastructure for future growth.

• Reliability & Quality: Implement rigorous testing, such as synthetic data testing, validation harnesses, and stress testing, ensuring high-quality, reliable integrations. Lead customer co-building initiatives and early-stage deployments to inform iterative improvements.

• AI & Data Integration: Collaborate closely with the AI Data Ingestion team, enabling intelligent features like Enterprise Search and Q&A through robust, high-quality data pipelines.

• Documentation & Enablement: Define and uphold best practices for internal and external documentation, empowering developers and partners to easily integrate with, utilize, and extend Notion’s capabilities.

• Global Collaboration: Coordinate across distributed teams in North America, Europe, and Asia, with occasional international travel (up to quarterly) to align global integration strategies and execution.

Skills You'll Need to Bring:

• Proven experience leading engineering teams, including strategic prioritization, technical decision-making, and driving successful product launches.

• Strong track record building products collaboratively with customers, translating their needs into impactful technical solutions.

• Exceptional cross-functional collaboration skills, with experience navigating complex, enterprise-focused technical challenges.

Nice to Haves:

• Experience developing integrations with key third-party platforms (e.g., Microsoft 365, Atlassian, Salesforce, Google Workspace).

• Familiarity with building data pipelines supporting AI-driven functionalities.

• Previous experience in startups or fast-paced technology environments, where you've shaped foundational systems and driven high-impact outcomes.
