About The Role

The Hyderabad Infra team builds and maintains Notion's internal async task runner and configuration management platform. The async task runner plays a critical role in ensuring our millions of users have a fast, reliable, and secure experience. The configuration management platform enables safe, explicit configuration management for Notion's product and infrastructure engineers.

As part of the Hyderabad Infra Team, you’ll have a unique opportunity to shape how Notion manages and scales its async task runner and configuration management platform, enabling innovation across the company.

What You'll Achieve

• You will contribute to the evolution and maintenance of our async task runner to meet the needs of over 100 million global users and support the rapid growth of our product and business.
• With guidance from senior team members, you'll help ensure our systems remain reliable, efficient, and scalable. You'll evaluate and integrate new technologies to keep us ahead of emerging challenges.
• Your work will empower our engineering team to build features confidently while you grow your skills in distributed systems and infrastructure.
• You will develop the skills and confidence to debug live production systems with minimal disruption, whether replacing components or managing failovers. You will participate in an on-call rotation, responding to incidents to uphold service reliability and quickly restore normal operations.
• You will partner with product engineers and other infra teams to ensure our platforms align with evolving business needs and product goals.
  
  

Skills You'll Need To Bring

• An early-career software developer with at least 1 year of experience and the ability to perform well in a fast-paced environment.
• Systems thinker: You understand distributed systems and can design solutions that account for tradeoffs like consistency, latency, and scalability.
• Pragmatic problem-solver: You prioritize business impact and understand the balance between craft, speed, and long-term maintainability. You’re opinionated but not ideological, and you learn new technologies as you go.
• Ownership and initiative: You thrive in a fast-moving, unstructured environment and are comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous problems. You act with a bias toward action and focus on results.
• Customer Empathy: You excel at collaborating across teams, offering guidance and solutions to unblock engineers and support them in building reliable systems. With empathy at the core of your approach, you focus on addressing the needs of those who depend on the async task runner.
