We currently have openings on:
- 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 pod builds and manages ourKubernetes-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

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.

We recently formed a Traffic Infrastructure team to ensure that traffic across Airtables network and routing infrastructure is managed in a reliable flexible and secure manner. This will support improved performance in our secondary regions (EU and Australia) as well as other customer-driven projects. We are looking for software engineers experienced in shipping code in the areas of cloud network routing network security and traffic engineering.
