Description
We're looking for an experienced software engineer to help lead the next phase of platform maturity in how we run Kubernetes at Airtable. As a member of the Compute Platform team, you'll be responsible for building and evolving the infrastructure that powers Airtable's services at scale.
Your primary focus will be on designing, implementing, and scaling core Kubernetes platform capabilities used across ~70 clusters, spread across multiple environments. You'll also lead foundational modernization efforts, such as migrating to a new CNI plugin to overhaul IP security rule management across clusters and regions.
In addition to your technical expertise, you'll collaborate closely with product and security teams to power a rapidly growing enterprise business. You'll spend roughly 70% of your time in hands-on engineering and 30% in design reviews, mentorship, and cross-team collaboration.
To succeed in this role, you'll need 8+ years of software engineering experience, with deep expertise building and operating a Kubernetes-based internal service platform. You'll also need a strong understanding of Kubernetes internals, including controllers/operators, CRDs, networking, and cluster architecture.
If you're excited about building internal platforms, shaping infrastructure strategy, and partnering closely with product and security teams, we'd love to hear from you.
