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
