Software Engineer, Infrastructure (8+ YOE)

Overview

Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes. More than 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, rely on Airtable to transform how work gets done.

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 :

• Base Infrastructure (SF and NYC) : We are looking for strong engineers with leadership experience to join the Serving Infrastructure organization. You will primarily work on the Base Infrastructure team, whose key projects include building replication to support zero downtime failovers, optimizing performance and memory usage, and vertical scaling. We will also rely on you for orgwide impact on strategy and execution.
• Data Infrastructure (SF Hub only) : The Data Infrastructure team’s mission is to enable data-driven decision making at Airtable by providing reliable, self-service, high-performance analytics infrastructure. We use technologies like Apache Spark, Kafka, and Apache Flink to process vast quantities of data in our data warehouse. This infrastructure is used by Airtable’s data engineers and analysts, as well as product developers building features powered by business data. The team is focused on scaling to petabyte volume, enabling sub-second streaming, tightening data governance, and delivering cost efficient ML-ready datasets to power Airtable’s native AI products with fresh, high quality signals.
• Storage (SF Hub Only) : The Storage team’s mission is to accelerate product development at Airtable by providing scalable, reliable, and easy-to-use storage abstractions. We use RDS MySQL, DynamoDB, Redis, and TiDB. We’re looking for folks interested in distributed systems and databases who are excited to work on business-critical, petabyte-scale storage systems. You will own all aspects of building, running, and improving these systems, from the underlying infrastructure all the way to the developer-facing code abstractions.

Please note : while we employ a hybrid working model at Airtable (flexible in working from the office or elsewhere), we are looking to hire candidates who are based in the San Francisco Bay Area (depending on team match) who are open to coming into the office at least ~2-3 times / week for team collaboration.
