Join Airtable as a Product Security Engineer and play a pivotal role in shaping the security of our rapidly evolving platform as we expand our AI and LLM-powered offerings. You will join the team responsible for safeguarding the application layer of Airtable’s platform.

You will partner closely with product engineering teams to build paved roads, frameworks, and automated controls that make the secure path the easy path for our engineering teams. You will help influence application security at scale, ensuring our products are secure by design.

What you'll do

• Develop self-service security frameworks and "paved roads" that allow engineering teams to ship secure code by default.
• Focus on automated guardrails for common vulnerabilities, while prioritizing deep-dive design reviews into complex business logic and data isolation issues (for example, multi-tenant isolation and authorization/permission bypasses) that automated tools cannot catch.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to review designs early, contribute to threat modeling for new features and complex initiatives, and provide clear, actionable security guidance.
• Research emerging threats and evolving best practices, specifically regarding AI and LLM safety, and implement controls to secure these workflows.
• Manage and evolve our approach to external penetration testing and bug bounties, driving remediation for findings and treating vulnerability management as an engineering problem.
• Contribute to the long-term roadmaps, metrics, and strategic planning for the security team.
• (Senior/Staff L5+) Lead complex threat modeling sessions for major product launches and define secure coding standards, and actively mentor other engineers to raise the technical security bar across the organization.

Who you are

• 4+ years of experience in product security or application security, with experience shipping production code. Please note this is not an early career position.
• You have a strong background in computer science or a related field, with proficiency in writing clean, maintainable code.
• You have deep familiarity with JavaScript or TypeScript, Node.js, and modern web application frameworks, and can reason about the security implications of systems built on them.
• You have hands-on experience securing LLM integrations and identifying prompt injection or data leakage risks.
• You are proficient in writing and reviewing code and treat security as an engineering problem to be solved with software, not just policies.
• You excel at communicating complex security risks to non-security stakeholders and enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to find solutions that balance security with engineering velocity.
• You are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, navigating ambiguity, continuously learning about emerging threats and technologies, and contributing to long-term security strategy.

Airtable’s mission is to bring the power of computing and software development to everyone. We are developing a powerful and extensible platform 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 Monetization Team (Full-Stack/BE) 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 Platform Interoperability Team (Full-Stack/BE) builds the systems that allow agents, integrations, and connected workflows to interact with Airtable as a platform. As AI agents become a primary interface for how work gets done, we're ensuring Airtable is a first-class participant in that ecosystem. This team's mission is to make Airtable the most capable and well-connected platform in the agentic ecosystem. We're building the infrastructure that lets humans and agents alike treat Airtable as a source of truth they can reliably act on, whether through direct integrations, AI-powered workflows, or large-scale data operations.

Please note: while we employ a hybrid working model at Airtable (flexible in working from the office or elsewhere), we are only hiring in the following locations at this time:

• Based in New York City and are open to coming into our office (Soho) at least ~2-3 times/week for team collaboration
• Based remotely in the greater Seattle area

What you'll do

• Design and build systems that dramatically increase the scalability and performance of all applications built on Airtable, to earn the trust of our customers through predictable, reliable, and thoughtful interactions.
• Work at the deep backend of the Airtable software stack within the Enterprise Product portion of the org, just above the Infrastructure org.
• Partner with product managers, designers, and data scientists to understand the needs of potential users and build a product that unlocks their potential.
• Work alongside and learn from a talented group of engineers with a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds.

Who you are

• You have 8+ years of industry experience with modern systems development, ideally database internals development.
• You are interested in programming in TypeScript and Rust.
• You are excited by a product-oriented backend role, i.e. not pure Infrastructure.
• You have a good understanding of modern web technologies and large-scale web application architecture.
• You have a background in computer science or a related field.
• You believe the best product is the one that helps users accomplish their goals while growing the business.
• You take a thoughtful approach to decision making; knowing when to move fast and when to do things right.
• You have strong convictions, weakly held and assume validation and iteration are a given to produce the best results.
• You show strong ownership instincts and sweat the details.
• You are currently based and/or will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area
