Airtable

Site Reliability Engineer

San Francisco, CA

Airtable is a mission-critical system for a diverse set of teams and industries. We build our platform to scale, stay resilient, and deliver a delightful user experience all around. Our infrastructure requires thorough thinking, deep research into how things work, and rigorous coding. Our mission is ambitious, but we like to keep our infrastructure simple.

We’re looking for site reliability engineers who care deeply about building robust tools and operational practices that enable scale. Not only will you automate and build the workflows that support scaling out our architecture, you’ll also work closely with the rest of engineering to enable your peers to deliver and manage their features reliably, safely and efficiently.

What you'll do


  • Automate everything: deploys, rollbacks, provisioning, failovers, testing, common tasks and everything in between.

  • Design and implement monitoring tooling that will be used to optimize systems for uptime, performance, and reliability.

  • Design and write tests that investigate how our infrastructure handles failure and scaling.

  • Build nontrivial internal tooling to support and enable engineering workflows.
