Mid

Full-stack platform engineer on Notion's Data Product Platform team, powering search, automations, and Notion AI

Notion's Data Product Platform team builds and operates the event-based and data-powered systems that underpin product features like search, automations, notifications, workspace analytics, and Notion AI. This card focuses on cross-stack ownership (infrastructure through product code), a data-driven operating style using metrics/traces/logs, and building ergonomic developer and agentic tooling for other engineering teams — all directly grounded in the JD's stated responsibilities.
