Software Engineering Intern, Frontend (Summer 2027)

What You'll Achieve

• Ship frontend features to real users. Build and launch production UI on Notion’s web client, from marketplace and seller surfaces to permissions and sharing controls, partnering with designers, PMs, and senior engineers.
• Strengthen the foundation other teams build on. Contribute to shared components, product primitives, and tooling so engineers across Notion can build faster and more consistently.
• Make Notion performant, scalable, and accessible. Use real metrics to find and fix problems in load time, responsiveness, and accessibility on the web client.
• Help people discover, install, and use products from Notion and its ecosystem, and control who can see and do what. Work on distribution surfaces for creators, consultants, and partners, and on interfaces for access across pages, databases, teams, groups, and guests.
• Own a scoped project from design to launch. Measure its impact and present what you learned to your team and partners.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or another related field. Must graduate before Summer 2028.
• Working toward proficiency in React / TypeScript
• Previous internship experience.
• You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them.
• You are able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Skills You’ll Need to Bring

• Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.
• Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact-good and bad.
• 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. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed.
• Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same.
• AI enthusiast: You have built or prototyped features with AI technologies (LLMs, Embeddings, ML) and are interested in learning more.

Nice to Haves

• You have expertise with specific technologies that are part of our stack, including TypeScript and React.
• 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.
• You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.

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. 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.
