Notion
Data Scientist, Growth
San Francisco
At Notion, our mission is to empower every individual, team, and company to customize their software to tackle any problem and overcome any challenge. While computers are among our most powerful tools, most people lack the ability to build or modify the software they use daily. At Notion, we’re determined to change this through focus, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship.
Since 2016, we’ve been working toward this vision alongside customers like Pixar, Mitsubishi, Figma, Plaid, Match Group, and thousands of others. Today, we’re growing rapidly and looking for talented individuals who excel in their fields to join us. We’re committed to building a company as diverse and creative as the millions of people around the world who use Notion.
Notion operates as an in-person company, requiring employees to come into the office for two Anchor Days (Mondays and Thursdays) and encouraging them to spend the majority of their workweek in the office, including a third day.
