The Monetization team is the engineering arm of our business. We drive revenue, and are entrusted with handling our customers money. We ensure that our customers understand the premium value they receive in our paid products, that they transact with a seamless and reliable payment infrastructure, and that Notion’s pricing and packaging serves both the customer and the business. We support Notion’s global expansion by expanding the payment options available to people around the world.

As an engineer on the team, you will work closely with cross-functional teams to build and maintain the infrastructure necessary to support payments, billing, international currencies, and self-serve monetization.
