搜索与上下文平台工程师经理
Engineering Manager, Search & Context Platform
我们是谁
Notion 是一个协作型 AI 工作空间，团队和代理可以共同思考 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s。我们正在打造一个地方，让您的知识、项目、会议和 AI 工具并存，使工作更快、更清晰、更不零散。数百万个人、小团队和大公司都在 Notion 上开展工作。
Notinos（我们的员工）是实现这一未来工作的首要客户。我们重视工艺，打造持久的成果，并相信优秀的工作本质上仍是人类的。我们的目标不是推出下一个功能。Notion 的每个团队都在努力设定人类在 AI 时代协作的标准。从构建企业的记录系统，到创建和管理 AI 代理，再到自动化繁忙的工作，我们非常重视为客户节省时间，让他们专注于自己的核心工作。
关于该职位
Notion 的搜索与上下文平台是支撑 1 亿多名用户以及越来越多的 Notion 代理查找和推理正确信息的基础。该团队负责支持词法和语义检索的搜索基础设施和索引系统，管理代理上下文和记忆的平台基础组件，以及使所有内容都具备生产级特性的可扩展性、性能、安全性和企业能力。
数据增长比以往任何时候都快，支撑这些的系统需要迅速演进以支持数量级的增长——无论是我们索引的内容量，还是代理对检索层的负载。
作为该团队的工程经理，您将领导一支技术深度强的工程师团队，构建多个产品团队使用的平台系统。您最重要的客户是搜索与上下文产品团队和 AI 团队（基于这些基础组件构建代理）。您将制定技术方向，代表这些客户进行平台范围的产品管理，并在服务产品速度的同时做出艰难的权衡——同时保持平台的可持续性、可靠性和安全性。
您将取得的成果：
- 领导一个高绩效的平台团队，负责搜索基础设施（词法和语义）、索引（包括流式和批量数据管道）、检索（词法+语义+混合）以及支撑 Notion 代理的上下文/记忆基础组件。
- 制定清晰的路线图，平衡基础平台投资（延迟、成本、可靠性、可扩展性、新鲜度）

WHO WE ARE
Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkpYpWfEK5s. 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.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Notion's Search & Context Platform is the substrate that powers how 100M+ users and, increasingly, Notion's agents find and reason over the right information. This team owns the search infrastructure and indexing systems powering lexical and semantic retrieval, the platform primitives for managing agent context and memories, and the scalability, performance, security, and enterprise capabilities that make all of it production-grade.
Data growth is faster than ever, and the systems that power this need to rapidly evolve to support an order of magnitude growth—both in the volume of content we index and in the load that agents now place on the retrieval layer.
As the Engineering Manager for this team, you'll lead a technically deep group of engineers building platform systems used by multiple product teams. Your most important customers are the Search & Context product team and the AI team (building agents on top of these primitives). You'll set the technical direction, product manage the platform scope on behalf of those customers, and make hard tradeoffs to move fast in service of product velocity — while keeping the platform sustainable, reliable, and secure.
WHAT YOU'LL ACHIEVE:
- Lead a high-performing platform team responsible for search infrastructure (lexical & semantic), indexing (including streaming & batch data pipelines), retrieval (lexical + semantic + hybrid), and the context/memory primitives that power Notion's agents.
- Set a clear roadmap that balances foundational platform investments (latency, cost, reliability, scalability, freshness, completeness, security, enterprise readiness) with fast iteration on indexing new entities/features and building new context capabilities for agents.
- Operate the platform with a high reliability bar: SLOs, deep observability, on-call health, early-warning signals, and prevention-first incident/post-mortem practices and drive measurable improvements to search and context quality, performance, and reliability for Notion's largest customers and o
- Partner and build closely with the Search & Context product team, the AI team, and other consumers of the platform on the right interfaces, capabilities, and commitments.
- Staying ahead of the needs of your customer teams by anticipating where the product is going, investing in capacity, capabilities, and primitives and making sure the platform accelerates product velocity.
- Build and lead the team through hiring, coaching, feedback, growth, and creating an environment where strong technical ICs do their best work.
- Contribute to Notion's broader engineering practices around platform design, reliability, on-call, and AI-era infrastructure.
SKILLS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:
- 4+ years of experience leading engineering teams with a track record of shipping high-quality systems in a fast-paced environment.
- A technically leaning management style—you stay close to the code and the design, can credibly debate architecture and tradeoffs with senior ICs, and raise the technical bar of your team.
- Sufficient depth in search, retrieval, or large-scale data/indexing systems: lexical search (e.g. BM25), semantic search (embeddings, ANN/vector indexes), big data pipelines, hybrid retrieval, ranking, and the surrounding infrastructure.
- Experience product managing a platform or infrastructure scope: continuous evaluation technical architecture, SLAs, and a roadmap on behalf of internal customer teams, and making prioritization calls when those customers want different things.
- Strong systems judgment around scalability, performance, security, build vs buy and enterprise readiness—you've shipped systems that had to be fast, cheap, secure, and reliable at scale, not just functional.
- A bias for making hard tradeoffs to unblock product velocity while protecting the long-term health of the platform; comfortable saying "yes, with these constraints" or "no, here's the better path."
- Experience working closely with product and AI teams as customers of a platform—you can speak both languages and translate between them.
- High tolerance for ambiguity and rapid change; you enjoy operating in a space where both the product surface (agents, AI) and the underlying technology (retrieval, LLMs) are evolving quickly.
NICE TO HAVES:
- Experience building agentic or tool-using systems, or platforms that serve LLM-based products.
- Familiarity with permissioned, multi-tenant enterprise data—ACL-aware indexing, retrieval, and audit.
- Understanding of classic information retrieval metrics, ranking, or applied ML.
- Has led teams through rapid scope and priority changes and evolving org boundaries.

A NOTE ON AI
