• Plan and carry out large content and data migrations, from modeling through post-launch tuning
• Advise customers on architecture choices and spot chances to extend their Notion usage
• Track down root causes of problems spanning APIs, permissions, authentication, and client configurations
• Feed field lessons back to Product, CX, and Engineering to influence the roadmap and tooling
• Create reusable assets such as migration tools, integration templates, and delivery standards

Nice to have

• Hands-on work deploying autonomous AI agents in complex coding or operational workflows
• Experience building AI-driven flows with MCP, LLM apps, prompt design, retrieval systems, or orchestration tools
• History of creating discovery frameworks or internal tooling from scratch
• Familiarity with ETL/ELT pipelines, schema mapping, and migration validation scripts
• Track record of partnering with product and engineering to shape roadmaps or architecture
• Involvement in pre-sales work such as feasibility checks, migration sizing, or prototype scripts
• Proven record of delivering large enterprise implementations
