Software Engineering Intern, Frontend (Summer 2027)

Who We Are

This internship will take place from May 24 - August 13 or June 14 - September 3 (based on your summer schedule) and you will need to be able to work out of our NY office during this time.

About the Role

The Web Infrastructure team’s mission is to own the foundation of Notion’s web-based clients and to empower engineers to build performant, scalable, and accessible product experiences within them.

In this role, you could:

• Build and optimize common web patterns that front-end engineers can use to create features
• Build tooling that allows engineers to test, debug, and profile front-end features
• Build desktop infrastructure that is scalable and has deep OS integrations.

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.

This internship will take place from May 24 - August 13 or June 14 - September 3 (based on your summer schedule) and you will need to be able to work out of our 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.
• 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.
