Software Engineer Intern, Mobile (Winter 2027)

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: that's 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 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. Take a look at what our past intern cohort worked on with our Blog post here and here and the TikTok post.

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 application.
• Craft high-tier applications by enhancing the Android or iOS app's performance, reliability, and overall refinement. You may 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 another 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.
• Find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them.
• Able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Must be able to work out of our SF or NY office during the January to April internship period.

Skills You'll Need to Bring

• Thoughtful problem-solving: Understanding the context to decompose tricky problems and work toward a clean solution, whether independently or with teammates. Comfortable asking for help when necessary.
• Put users first: Critically considering the implications of your work on real people's lives. Understanding that reach comes with responsibility for the impact—both positive and negative.
• Not ideological about technology: Viewing technologies and programming languages as tradeoffs. Being adaptable and willing to learn new technologies without being dogmatic.
• Empathetic communication: Clearly communicating nuanced ideas, whether writing technical decisions or brainstorming in real time. Engaging thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromising when needed during disagreements.
• Team player: Believing that work is a collaborative effort. Enjoying working cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and caring about learning, growing, and helping others do the same.

Nice to Haves

• Proficiency with any part of our technology stack, including Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Android SDK, Dagger, Swift, React, TypeScript, or Postgres.
• Familiarity with computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and understanding the importance of their work.
• Interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences.

A Note on AI

You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
