When Notion posts internships
On August 14, 2026, Notion posted its Summer and Winter 2027 software engineering internships and a December new grad role together, with the data science internship five days later. Early Career engineering roles had gone up in early July.
No deadlines are published, and listings come down once seats fill. Aim to apply within the first few weeks after the August postings.
These are patterns from recent cycles, not published dates, and they shift. The reliable signal is the posting itself: Trakker is an internship tracker that reads Notion’s careers site directly and can email you within minutes of a new role appearing.
Who can apply
Interns must be pursuing a bachelor's or master's in computer science, engineering, or a similar discipline. The Summer 2027 posting requires graduating before Summer 2028, which rules out anyone still in school a year after the internship. It also asks for previous internship experience.
The December new grad role requires graduating in December 2026 and starting full time in January or February 2027. Postings name TypeScript, Node.js, and Python and value prior work building with LLMs or embeddings.
The interview process
The postings don't list interview stages. Candidates describe a recruiter screen, a practical coding exercise that involves building out real functionality, a longer block of team interviews, and a values conversation.
The postings stress decomposing problems, user impact, and clear communication, and even name computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace and Douglas Engelbart. Expect interviewers to ask why you build things as well as how.
Tips for applying to Notion
- August is the month. Notion posts earlier than most and doesn't advertise a second wave.
- Pick the summer window that fits your school calendar: Notion offers both a May and a June start.
- Show a product you've built with AI. The postings describe an AI-first mindset and ask for experience prototyping with LLMs or embeddings.
