Engineering Manager, Developer Platform
About The Position
AI has been redefining what's possible to build in and on top of Notion as a platform. Our developer platform—spanning REST APIs, Agent SDKs, MCP, and agent tools—serves everyone from hobbyist developers building AI agents to Fortune 500 companies deploying enterprise integrations. In this role, you'll scale this platform to support increasingly sophisticated AI applications, custom automations, and intelligent workflows across our rapidly growing ecosystem. As AI tools make writing code even more accessible, we're seeing Notion's vibrant ecosystem of builders turn into engineers. In this role, you'll be helping scale our developer platform and APIs to support this new generation of vibe coders. You'll lead the engineering team responsible for developing the API that is at the core of Notion's developer ecosystem. Engineering managers at Notion are responsible for creating and fostering the user-focused, collaborative, and high-performing teams that build products to help everyone be a toolmaker.
Requirements
- You have managed engineering teams with a record of shipping high-quality products—bonus points for having worked on public-facing APIs and developer-facing products.
- You have built, or are committed to building, diverse and inclusive teams.
- You create team environments that are at once collaborative, empowering, supportive, and challenging—ones where engineers do their best work.
- You have a sufficiently deep background in product and technology that you can ask the right questions of your team, balance product, tech, and people concerns, and make hard tradeoffs.
- You have a high tolerance for ambiguity and change, especially around organizational structure and the boundaries of your role.
- You enjoy jumping into whatever areas need attention and learning as-you-go.
- You value empathetic and direct communication, particularly when giving and receiving feedback.
Nice To Haves
- You have managed engineering teams at startups before, particularly during periods of rapid growth and organizational change.
- You've managed teams that are geographically split (the engineers are based in NY and SF).
- You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work.
Responsibilities
- You'll recruit, grow and and manage a diverse and inclusive team of engineers working on Notion's developer products: the public API, MCP, etc.
- You'll facilitate planning—the prioritization, sequencing, and staffing of work—for your team.
- You'll be responsible for maintaining a high quality bar for everything your team ships.
- You'll collaborate closely with peers from other functions—Business Development, Marketing, Partnerships, Support, and Sales, to name a few—on our overall platform strategy, ongoing maintenance and support, and rolling out features to a broad set of audiences: enterprise customers, third-party developers, integration partners, etc.
- You'll work with others to shape how Notion's engineering organization works—you'll help develop our technical practices, recruiting and onboarding strategy, planning and prioritization process, and more.
