  • Own the quality and outcomes of engagements from technical discovery and requirements gathering through solution design, implementation, launch, and handover.
  • Act as a trusted technical and delivery advisor to customer engineering, IT, security, and business leaders, helping them make informed architectural decisions and deepen their use of Notion.
  • Guide the design, build, and operation of custom agents, integrations, automations, and data pipelines that connect Notion with customers’ systems and workflows.
  • Oversee large-scale content and data migrations, including discovery, scoping, data modeling, transformation logic, validation, cutover, and post-migration optimization.
  • Review technical designs and implementation plans, identify delivery risks early, and step in directly when an engagement requires senior technical leadership.
  • Partner with Sales and Services leaders on qualification, feasibility, scoping, effort estimation, staffing, and delivery planning for strategic opportunities.
  • Balance customer priorities, team capacity, and technical complexity to make sound staffing and sequencing decisions.
  • Help define and scale the operating model for Forward Deployed Engineering, including hiring, onboarding, delivery methodologies, quality reviews, documentation, and engineering best practices.

  • Hands-on experience with APIs, integrations, authentication, data transformation, and production systems.
  • Experience leading technical discovery, assessing feasibility, identifying risks, scoping work, estimating effort, and translating ambiguous requirements into executable plans.
  • Strong architectural judgment and debugging skills, with the ability to isolate root causes across code, APIs, permissions, integrations, data quality, automation logic, system limits, and customer-specific environments.
  • Demonstrated success managing multiple complex customer engagements while maintaining quality, team health, and clear stakeholder communication.
