We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead Airtable's AI Product engineering team, which builds the user-facing AI experiences that make Airtable magical. You'll own the AI experiences that put powerful agents directly in users' hands—enabling them to automate workflows, surface insights, and accomplish in minutes what used to take hours—and drive the roadmap for how AI transforms what's possible in Airtable with our core AI offering, Omni. Your team will leverage our AI Platform foundation to rapidly ship experiences that delight users and drive business impact, staying at the frontier of what's possible with the latest models, agent frameworks, and AI tooling.

You've shipped AI features that customers love and can articulate why they succeeded AI-native builder: You understand the landscape of LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG architectures, and emerging AI tooling. You have intuition for what's possible and practical with current models Velocity-oriented: You know how to move fast without breaking things. You've built teams that ship iteratively, learn from users quickly, and continuously improve AI experiences based on feedback Collaborative partner: You thrive working with Product and Design as true partners. You bring technical perspective to product strategy while respecting craft across disciplines Comfortable with ambiguity: The AI landscape changes rapidly, and you're energized rather than paralyzed by uncertainty. You make good decisions with incomplete information and adapt as you learn Proven technical and leadership foundation: 6+ years experience as an engineer (previously in a staff or tech lead IC position) and 6+ years as a manager, with experience shipping AI-powered products Airtable is an equal opportunity employer.
