Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Millions of people use Notion every day, and we’re growing quickly.
• The Infrastructure Security team’s mission is to build a secure-by-default foundation across Notion’s technical stacks—architecting systems that make the secure path the easy path.
• As an IC4 on this team, you’ll own meaningful infrastructure security problems end-to-end: from identifying risk, to designing pragmatic controls, to shipping secure defaults that scale across engineering.
• This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City.
• We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person.
• We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days.
• Proactively enhance the security posture of our AWS accounts and cloud infrastructure.
• Create secure frameworks for secrets management and authentication/authorization.
• Design and deploy robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions.
• Provide guidance and education on security and privacy best practices to cross-functional partners.
• Participate in (and help drive) mitigation strategies during security-related incident response.
• Security architecture and expertise: you’ve built and maintained systems to secure cloud architectures, ranging from secrets management to Identity and Access Management solutions.
• Backend/infrastructure development: you’ve written and shipped production-grade code, and can contribute to the codebase and architecture to raise the bar on secure systems design.
• Working in production: you can debug systems in production and continuously improve components with minimal disruption.
• Pragmatic, risk-based prioritization: you model threats, balance trade-offs, and focus security investments where they drive the most business impact.
• Empathetic communication: you communicate nuanced ideas clearly in writing and in real time; in disagreements, you engage thoughtfully and look for the right compromise.
