Software Engineer, Infrastructure (8+ YOE)

Airtable’s infrastructure is evolving to meet the needs of our fast growing engineering org. We are looking for backend engineers to join our team to help improve critical product infrastructure, with a focus on building systems that have a great developer experience and will scale as we grow.

We currently have openings on:

• Compute: The compute pod builds and manages our Kubernetes-based platform that supports every service at Airtable, including all new AI services such as vector databases, AI evals store, and document extraction and understanding services. We have a lot of exciting foundational work in our roadmap, such as
• • • Overhauling our network stack and service discovery, to simplify service setup and strengthen security
    • Region level disaster recovery, and bringing up compute platform from 0->1 in a new region
    • Building custom Kubernetes operators for reliably managing some of our most critical workloads
• Developer Platform: The Developer Platform team sits at the intersection of all engineering at Airtable, focusing on building the internal tooling, frameworks, and CI/CD systems that power our product teams. We strive to streamline developer workflows - from build and test cycles to production deployments—and foster a best-in-class developer experience. Join us if you’re passionate about creating high-leverage solutions that enable engineers to deliver features quickly, reliably, and at scale.
• Traffic: We are looking for founding members of our Traffic Engineering team. We recently formed a Traffic Infrastructure team to ensure that traffic across Airtable’s network and routing infrastructure is managed in a reliable, flexible, and secure manner. Some the upcoming work in this team's charter include supporting improved performance in our secondary regions (like EU), bolstering our rate limiting and admission control infrastructure, and creating a consolidated and unified stateless route e
