Job Description
Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes. More than 500000 organizations including 80% of the Fortune 100 rely on Airtable to transform how work gets done.
Airtables 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:
- Asynchronous Serving (SF and NYC):The Asynchronous Serving team is scaling critical systems used by Airtables most essential and up-and-coming product features. Upcoming projects include revamping the scheduler of our background job queue adding quality of service to the job queue and revamping a streaming service to handle 10x scale.
- Base Infrastructure (SF and NYC): The Base Infrastructure team owns the system that powers the core of Airtables product--serving Airtable bases. We are investing in the foundations of our homegrown in-memory database. Key projects include building replication to support zero downtime failovers optimizing performance and memory usage and vertical scaling.
- Compute (SF Hub Only): The compute pods charter is to make it easy for services to be built and operated in an easy and safe manner. This pod is responsible for building and operating our Kubernetes based platform upon which all Airtable services run on. As a result this team has high leverage in making a significant impact on the company across various dimensions: developer enablement service reliability and infrastructure cost. Were looking for experienced engineers who have built internal compute platforms before. We have an exciting roadmap filled with initiatives such as
- Providing higher level primitives and abstractions than those offered by native Kubernetes for building & deploying workloads in a way thats deeply integrated with the rest of Airtables infrastructure
- Bringing up compute stack in a new region in <1 week
- Developing Kubernetes CRDs and operators to address some of Airtables unique scalability challenges
- Deploy Infrastructure (SF Hub only): The Deploy Infrastructure pods mission is to empower Airtable product engineers to rapidly and safely iterate on their code via continuous deploys. We leverage systems including Kubernetes Spinnaker Terraform and home-built infrastructure to build a robust and fast deployment process and a powerful canary system.
- Developer Platform (SF and NYC): 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 workflowsfrom build and test cycles to production deploymentsand foster a best-in-class developer experience. Join us if youre passionate about creating high-leverage solutions that enable engineers to deliver features quickly reliably and at scale.
- Observability (SF and NYC): The Observability teams mission is to empower Airtables engineering team with effective monitoring and debugging tools. We provide actionable insights into errors and crashes and improve performance through enhanced visibility. Youll build tools that are in-use by nearly every engineer at Airtable in our logging metrics and tracing pipelines.
- Performance & Architecture (SF and NYC): This team is responsible for expanding the volume of data that can be stored in an Airtable application. This work spans from pure data volume to request handling throughput and parallel user support within a single Airtable application. The team also partners with management to identify new strategic opportunities to enhance user experience by creating new backend infrastructure that can unlock new products. As part of this role you will help coach other team members and improve overall team effectiveness.
- Storage (SF Hub Only): The Storage teams 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. Were 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.
- Traffic (SF and NYC):The Traffic Team is adding foundational systems and abstractions to Airtables infrastructure to support our growing multi-region service. Design and introduce systems like service mesh while evolving existing mechanisms for RPC handling load spikes and transient cloud failures!
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.
