Airtable’s mission is to bring the power of computing and software development to everyone. We are developing a powerful and extensible toolkit that our customers can leverage to solve a variety of different problems and workflows. We’ve seen our most sophisticated customers use the product to run global processes across thousands of employees, coordinate precision manufacturing pipelines, and consolidate previously siloed mission-critical data into a single source of truth. The complexity of these use cases requires us to be extremely thoughtful about how we design and implement new functionality in the product and make sure it’s both easy to use and comprehend for our customers and maintainable for us.

As a Full-Stack, Backend engineer at Airtable, you will have the opportunity to work with customers to deeply understand their needs and workflows. You will collaborate with cross-functional partners across product management, design, research and data science to create innovative new features that enable our customers to do their best work. You will be responsible for owning and executing the end-to-end implementation of these new features that will contribute to making our toolkit even more powerful and successful.

We currently have openings on:

• The Omni Team (Full-Stack/BE, NYC) brings the power of AI directly to Airtable end users, making it easier than ever to search, navigate, and operate their applications. While other teams focus on embedding AI throughout the platform and building advanced tools for creators, this team’s mission is simple: ensure AI is immediately helpful with little to no setup. From the moment a customer opens a base, installs a solution, or uses a template, AI is there - ready to assist. The team also builds foundational elements of Airtable’s AI platform, enabling other engineering teams to deliver high-quality AI-powered experiences across the product.
• The Monetization Team (Full-Stack/BE, SF) is a high-impact team focused on driving user engagement and revenue across Airtable’s core surfaces, including sharing, pricing, and payments. Engineers on this team build polished, user-facing features, run experiments that shape product direction, and maintain the systems that power billing and purchasing. You’ll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Data, leverage AI to personalize the user journey, and play a key role in helping users discover and unlock the full value of Airtable.
• The Field Agents Team (Full-Stack/BE, SF) is layering AI capabilities into the core primitives in Airtable. In practice this has meant leveraging LLMs in Airtable Fields and Automations, creating a new concept of Agents that can autonomously do work on your behalf in Airtable.
