About the role

You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: your decisions will shape the architecture that backs every Airtable base for years to come.

Lead, manage, and grow a team of high-functioning systems engineers responsible for the core backend of every Airtable base.
You'll be tapped when high-stakes accounts hit performance or scale challenges, and you'll work alongside AEs and Solutions Consultants to land and implement major deals.
Partner closely with senior and staff ICs on deeply technical decisions across backend product initiatives, and to hold your own technically with the most senior engineers on the team.
Partner with engineering leaders to drive technical decisions and initiatives, building products in a high-quality and sustainable way.
Drive operational excellence and implement processes that help the team scale and stay productive, while preserving the agility our dynamic environment demands.
A systems background, with a genuine interest in improving product performance and the end-user experience - not just low-level performance for its own sake.
Strong experience working closely with Product Managers to define products, manage tradeoffs, and drive adoption.
Direct experience working with enterprise customers or large, third-party partners, including holding challenging technical conversations and helping sophisticated customers understand a broad, highly technical product.
A deep appreciation for understanding the Airtable product end to end - the role demands fluency across the entirety of what we build.

5+ years of experience as an engineer (previously in a staff or TL-level IC position) AND 4+ years as a manager, or a similar combination.
Experience navigating and reasoning about large systems.
Experience leading high-performing engineering teams in a fast-paced environment, and growing and mentoring engineers.
Experience managing, organizing, and prioritizing multiple projects and work streams.
