Software Engineer Intern, Mobile

Who We Are

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion.

Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn't to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business's system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life's work.

Notion is an in person company, and currently requires its employees to come to the office for three Anchor Days (Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays). This internship will take place from Jan 25 - Apr 16 and you will need to be able to work out of our NY or SF office during this time.

About the Role

Mobile devices have reshaped personal computing, the power of a desktop now fits in our pockets. By giving everyone the building blocks to create their own tools, we'll solve more problems wherever we go. A delightful, intuitive mobile experience is our guiding light, and we need Android and iOS engineers to make it a reality.

During your 12-week internship, you will be paired with a mentor who will help guide you as you work closely with our team to build and ship impactful projects. These projects will drive valuable impact to our customers and engineers.

What You'll Achieve

• Write clean, secure, tested, and documented code.
• Collaborate with the team to strategize, mold, and develop innovative features for our Android and iOS applications.
• Focus on crafting top-tier applications, which may involve enhancing the Android or iOS app's performance, reliability, and overall refinement. You'll also have the opportunity to optimize aspects of the app within the web stack.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field. Must graduate before December 2027.
• Previous mobile internship experience.
• Working towards proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Kotlin, Java, TypeScript, Node.js, Swift, Go, Python, or Rust.
• 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.
• This internship will take place from Jan to Apr, and you will need to be able to work out of our SF or NY office during this time.

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.

Nice to Haves

• You're proficient with any part of our technology stack: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Dagger, Swift, React, TypeScript, Postgres.
• 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.
