Software Engineer, Web Infrastructure

Airtable is a uniquely complex product — behind the scenes, it has a purpose-built engine which delivers the power of a relational database, the ease of use and flexibility of a spreadsheet, and support for realtime collaboration and synchronization of edits made by multiple users. All of this complexity is presented via a polished and clean web interface and user-friendly mobile apps that enable anyone to leverage the power of software in their day-to-day work.

Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a horizontal toolkit composed of intuitive building blocks that people can repurpose to create their own applications. Our roadmap is filled with interesting enhancements and additions to this toolkit that greatly expand the boundaries of Airtable's capabilities, performance, and scalability.

We're looking for empathetic engineers who can write clean, maintainable code that takes into account this complexity while delivering high quality and performant experiences to our end users. As we begin this next chapter in the Airtable journey, our newly formed web infrastructure team will be critical in scaling our application to meet the needs of our growing customer base.
