Our story

Early computing pioneers envisioned a future where machines on our desks could amplify our imagination, extend our intellect, and help us model information in ways never before seen. This is the type of tool we want to build together at Notion — one that gives you the software you can mold and shape like clay to solve your problems your way.

We’ve heard Notion described many ways. It can be as simple as a blank piece of paper, making writing feel light and delightful. It can be as complex as a relational database that stores huge amounts of data. We sometimes compare it to a set of Legos (if Legos were designed by The New York Times). But at its core, Notion is a toolbox of software building blocks that let you manage your life and work however you find most useful.

To make this possible, we’ve brought together a diverse team of individuals passionate about computing, history, art, alternative programming languages, music, skateboarding, and craft. Today, we’re growing faster than ever across offices in San Francisco, New York, Dublin, Hyderabad and Tokyo 🇺🇸 🇮🇪 🇮🇳 🇯🇵

We believe the best companies bring together diversity in race, age, physical and mental ability, sexuality, gender identity, ethnicity, perspectives and ideas. And people do their best work when they feel like they belong — included, valued, and equal. This is the Notion we want to build, where everyone brings their full selves to work knowing that they’ll be heard, championed, and supported to succeed. We hope you’ll join us.

Questions & answers

What is Notion?

Notion is an all-in-one workspace for notes, docs, project management, wikis, and collaboration — all customizable to fit the needs of individuals, teams, and entire companies worldwide.

This probably says it best in 2.5 minutes :)

When is Notion’s team planning to be back in office?

We’ll continue to work from home until it's safe to return to the office. Our highest priority is the health and safety of our employees and their families. We'll continue to monitor public health indicators for guidance.

Why is Notion planning to return to an in-person culture?

Notion is excited to resume work as an in-person company across our 5 global offices (San Francisco, New York, Dublin, Tokyo, Hyderabad) — but only once it is safe to do so.

Most of Notion's team joined during the pandemic, so we want the opportunity to get to know each other and build stronger connections in the real world. We're passionate about the magic that can happen when people are in shared spaces. Notion is still so early, we want to harness all the creativity, brainstorming, and inspiration that comes from being together. That's how we'll keep moving fast :)

That said, we know every team and role is different, so folks are encouraged to work closely with their managers if there are special considerations.

Are you hiring remote contractors?

Yes, but only for specific roles and teams. Unless the role specifies it's for remote contractors, it's probably based in one of our offices.

Do you cover relocation costs?

If you’re based elsewhere in the U.S. (or internationally and you are authorized to work in the U.S.), we’ll help cover some of your relocation expenses to whichever city your new role is based. Please make sure to mention that you're open to relocation when you apply and talk to your recruiter about possible packages.

Do you offer visa sponsorship?

Notion may sponsor a U.S. visa for candidates who are filling certain roles and will assess eligibility for sponsorship. Currently, Notion is not sponsoring visas for candidates residing outside of the U.S.
