Airtable is used by more than half of the Fortune 500 companies to power their mission-critical initiatives. Enterprise customers leverage Airtable to build sophisticated apps, and orchestrate deep, end-to-end workflows. As we continue to scale, our teams are building the systems to ensure the security and governance of our customer’s data - from secure handling of file attachments to enterprise key management. These are advanced systems that provide robust security measures to protect our user’s data. 

We are seeking Engineering Managers to join our product engineering pillar to lead the Admin & Governance team, focused on scaling product experiences for our biggest customers. As AI becomes central to Airtable, enterprise customers need governance controls that let them adopt AI confidently, with granular feature enablement, capability-based restrictions, and full admin visibility. The Admin & Governance team is building that control plane – the AI Governance framework that gives admins those controls at every level of the enterprise. This work builds on the team's deep ownership of Airtable's enterprise trust infrastructure: the Admin Panel, SSO, audit systems, and User Groups that power governance for our largest customers. We're looking for a leader who can drive the AI Governance roadmap, scale the team's existing enterprise trust systems, and directly unblock adoption for our largest customers.

Please note: while we employ a hybrid working model at Airtable (flexible in working from the office or elsewhere), we are looking to hire candidates at this level that are based in San Francisco who are open to coming into the office at least ~2-3 times/week for team collaboration.
