Job Description:
Software Engineer, Native Windows Development (Contract)About
Us:We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team,
and company to tailor their software to solve any problem and take
on any challenge. Computers may be our most powerful tools, but
most of us can't build or modify the software we use on them every
day. At Notion, we want to change this with focus, design, and
craft.We've been working on this together since 2016, with
customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and
thousands more on this journey with us. Today, we're growing fast
and excited for new teammates to join us who are the best at what
they do. We're passionate about building a company as diverse and
creative as the millions of people Notion reaches worldwide.Notion
is an in-person company, and currently requires its employees to
come to the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays & Thursdays) and
requests that employees spend the majority of their week in the
office (including a third day).About The Role:Notion.exe is the
Electron-based frame through which many of our most active and
engaged users experience Notion. We have several Electron core
maintainers on our team to drive cross-platform features and would
love to add platform-specific expertise - someone who's used to
working in Visual Studio, with the Windows API, and has opinions
about how to best integrate with the world's most popular operating
system. This will help us serve our Windows users, who form the
majority of all users and a super-majority of enterprise users,
better.What you'll achieve:
- You'll define the roadmap for Windows and enterprise-specific
features in Notion for Windows.
- You'll help us integrate our classic win32 application with the
Windows packaging system, ideally using C++ and native Node.js
addons.
- You'll build a fully native installer for Notion's applications
on Windows that's tiny, fast, and resilient.
- You'll help build and improve internal tools with simplicity
and productivity in mind.
- We value building high-quality apps. We want to build the best
possible version of Notion on Windows and want to honor the
conventions and possibilities on that platform. You'll improve the
performance, reliability, and polish of our Windows app.
- You will also get to work with the web stack to improve the
end-to-end experience.
- If you're interested, you have the chance to contribute to or
become a maintainer of one of the most-used open source projects -
Electron, a cross-platform C++ and Objective-C framework.Skills
You'll Need to Bring:
- Windows development experience: You have written native Windows
applications using Microsoft's native stack in the past and want to
continue working on the platform. We don't particularly care if
your preferred language of choice is C#, C++, or Rust.
- Enthusiasm to learn TypeScript, React, and Node.js: While we
are primarily looking for Windows expertise, this role will require
working with our web stack. No previous experience is required, and
we'll provide the guidance and space needed to ramp up.
- Pragmatic and business-oriented: You care about business impact
and prioritize projects accordingly. You're not just going after
cool stuff-you understand the balance between craft, speed, and the
bottom line.
- Put users first: You think critically about the implications of
what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives.
- Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and
programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated,
but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you
go.
- Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas
clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing
or brainstorming in real time.
- Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy
collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals.Nice to
Haves:
- You have some experience interacting with the Windows API
through C++.
- You're proficient with other parts of our technology stack:
React, TypeScript, Node.js, Postgres.
- You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas
Engelbart, Alan Kay, and understand why we're fans of their work.We
hire talented and passionate people from a variety of backgrounds
because we want our global employee base to represent the wide
diversity of our customers. If you're excited about a role but your
past experience doesn't align perfectly with every bullet point
listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply. If
you're a builder at heart, share our company values, and are
enthusiastic about making software toolmaking ubiquitous, we want
to hear from you.Notion is proud to be an equal opportunity
