Software Engineer, Security

WHO WE ARE

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. 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 US:

Notion helps you build beautiful tools for your life’s work. In today's world of endless apps and tabs, Notion provides one place for teams to get everything done, seamlessly connecting docs, notes, projects, calendar, and email—with AI built in to find answers and automate work. Millions of users, from individuals to large organizations like Toyota, Figma, and OpenAI, love Notion for its flexibility and choose it because it helps them save time and money.

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:

We are hiring an experienced security engineer to own cross-cutting programs at the intersection of product, infrastructure, and AI. You will be hands-on with core security primitives while coordinating across 5–10+ engineering teams to land multi-quarter changes safely—often in customer-facing, enterprise-critical surfaces (identity, authz, domain posture, and AI agent safety).

In this role, you will be the primary owner for key authentication migrations, AI guardrail infrastructure, and authorization platform direction—work that directly unblocks enterprise security commitments, AI-agent launches, and the next milestone in our authz architecture.

WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:

- Modernize and migrate authentication across Notion’s product surfaces (SAML/OIDC, OAuth flows, session semantics, passkeys, CSP, redirect handling), landing multi-quarter changes with clear rollout plans and minimal customer disruption.

- Build and operate Notion’s AI safety guardrail stack, including prompt-injection protections (vendor evaluation, deployment model decisions, integration with agents) and an external-source provenance system for AI-generated content across Mail, Calendar, and MCP.

- Advance our authorization platform direction by driving crisp architectural trade-offs (e.g., SpiceDB vs. Macaroons) and shipping reusable primitives that product teams can adopt without bespoke security work.

- By day 90: own one P0 security program end-to-end—RFC, rollout plan, partner alignment, execution, and measurable risk reduction—plus ship one piece of AI leverage (e.g., an interna
