Notion - Forward Deployed Engineer, India
Requirements
• 3 to 6 years of hands-on experience in backend engineering, data engineering, integration engineering, implementation engineering, technical consulting, solutions engineering, or a similar technical role. • Strong hands-on Python development experience. • Working experience with Node.js, JavaScript, or TypeScript. • Strong SQL skills and a solid understanding of relational databases, data modeling, and data transformation. • Experience working with REST APIs, JSON, authentication, webhooks, and system integrations. • Experience owning a production migration, integration, or technical implementation through mapping, transformation, testing, rollout, validation, and handoff. • Experience taking a technical problem from requirements and design through development, testing, deployment, and production operation. • Experience with Git, code review, automated testing, release practices, and production deployment. • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills across code, data, infrastructure, and external systems. • Evidence of working on production systems, not only prototypes or proof-of-concept projects. • Clear written and verbal English communication, with the ability to explain technical decisions, constraints, and risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders. • High agency and ownership. You are comfortable making progress with incomplete information, challenging assumptions, and escalating with options and a recommendation. • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, job orchestration, or infrastructure automation. • Familiarity with message queues, event-driven systems, distributed-system patterns, retries, concurrency, and rate limits. • Experience with monitoring, logging, alerting, or other observability tools. • Experience with enterprise SaaS applications, professional services, or large-scale customer implementations. • Experience migrating large volumes of content or structured data between enterprise platforms. • Experience with AI or LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation frameworks, or agentic workflows. • Familiarity with MCP, tool calling, Notion Workers, Custom Agents, or similar extensibility platforms. • Experience working with distributed global or APAC teams. • What success looks like: • By clicking “Submit Application”, I understand and agree that Notion and its affiliates and subsidiaries will collect and process my information in accordance with Notion’s Global Recruiting Privacy Policy. • You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on. • Equal Opportunity & Accommodations
Responsibilities
• Learn Notion's migration and implementation ecosystem, engineering standards, and APAC delivery model. • Establish a productive working rhythm with regional FDE partners. • Contribute to at least one migration or integration workstream through production delivery. • Leave behind clear technical documentation, validation evidence, and an operational runbook. • Independently own production migration or integration workstreams from technical design through rollout and handoff. • Deliver measurable improvements in migration turnaround time, validation quality, delivery cost, or regional FDE execution hours through reusable engineering. • Help establish repeatable quality controls, code review practices, runbooks, and observability patterns for the India team. • Demonstrate effective prioritization and communication across multiple concurrent APAC engagements. • Turn at least one repeated delivery pattern into a reusable tool, component, or playbook that is adopted by a subsequent engagement. • Location: • This role is based in Hyderabad, India. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, our Anchor Days, because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We're looking for someone who's excited to work alongside the team during those days. • By clicking “Submit Application”, I understand and agree that Notion and its affiliates and subsidiaries will collect and process my information in accordance with Notion’s Global Recruiting Privacy Policy. • A Note on AI • You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work.
