Airtable’s mission is to bring the power of computing and software development to everyone. One of the most rewarding parts of building a toolkit is seeing the incredible things your users create with it. We’ve seen our largest and most sophisticated customers use Airtable to run global processes across thousands of employees, coordinate precision manufacturing and 3D printing pipelines, and consolidate previously siloed mission-critical data into a single source of truth.
The flexible nature of Airtable’s product translates to many unique infrastructure engineering challenges. We are building a relational database engine that supports real-time synchronization between different users, revision history, a powerful formulas engine, workflows and automations, snapshotting, and more. We are looking for talented backend engineers to help us evolve our database engine to meet our customers’ most critical needs around performance and scale.
In addition, Airtable’s infrastructure is also evolving to meet the needs of our fast growing engineering org. We are looking for backend engineers to help improve critical infrastructure for storage, cache, services, deployment and orchestration, with a focus on building systems that have a great developer experience and will scale as we grow. We are hiring staff/lead engineers across the following teams:
Service Deployment & Orchestration
This pod will adopt a Kubernetes based technology stack for service deployment and orchestration, with the goal of replacing our existing deployment infrastructure and making it easier for engineers across the company to deploy services. This pod will also work to make it easy to create new services and hasten our transition to a true service oriented architecture. This effort is extremely important to manage the growth of our engineering team and manage the growing complexity of our backend architecture.
Cloud Infrastructure
Infrastructure provisioning, Infrastructure security and Infrastructure access are the primary areas of ownership that this team will oversee. This team’s efforts are essential to ensure we can scale our engineering org and maintain high availability for our enterprise customers.
Developer Effectiveness
Developer effectiveness serves our entire engineering organization. The objective of the team is to make developers at Airtable more productive by improving our development tools and core abstractions. It owns the overall development environment and toolchain, including local development (debuggers, profilers, local testing, language and package management), build, code review, and CI. It also has a pod that works on core abstractions, such as the i18n framework, that many products use in their day to day work to solve common problems.
