About Us

We're on a mission to make it possible for every person, team, and company to be able 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, and have 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)
