Job Abstract

Airtable empowers companies to create custom apps that unify their teams, operationalize their most valuable data, and power critical workflows. We’re looking for a seasoned product designer who’s adept at simplifying complicated logic and concepts into a clear, straightforward experience for our largest customers. In particular, the Enterprise product pillar’s vision is to support these orgs in building and managing complex business workflows for team collaboration.

If these sound like puzzles you’re eager to help us solve and you’re excited about the chance to work with a crew of humble, talented, and deeply thoughtful designers, we can’t wait for you to apply.

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 who are based in San Francisco/Bay Area and are open to coming into the office for team collaboration.

Translate complexity into simplicity

This is a big, gnarly problem space that needs to distill down into focused and intuitive design solutions for real people. You’ll work with both design and cross-functional partners to think holistically about the architecture and underlying systems that make Airtable an adaptable solution and how that meshes with user needs.

A very satisfying amount of design

You’ll design and ship high-quality products and feel a sense of ownership throughout the process. You’ll drive a strong design process from beginning to end: synthesize user needs, generate flows and ideas, collaborate with teammates and stakeholders to refine, bring concepts to life with mockups and prototypes, and partner with engineering to deliver final polish. You’ll learn and validate directly with users and customers.

Shape our strategy

Project ideas aren’t just handed off to designers in a fully defined state. Designers work with cross-functional partners to build roadmaps, goals, and success metrics focused on the most high-impact opportunities. You have a key voice, utilizing design to bring structure to the vision.

See Airtable through the eyes of our customers

We have a dedicated customer base—they’re passionate about building towards very specific workflows and logic. You’ll partner across the company and have direct conversations to understand the goals and needs of users in many industries. You’ll lean on interviews and feedback sessions to inform your work.

Help our design team thrive

The design culture at Airtable is such an important part of our day-to-day! You’ll contribute to team critiques, spend time in collaborative jam sessions, and continue to learn and grow in your own craft and practice. There’s always someone ready to nerd out with you on big, brain melting concepts and the smallest of visual details. We love what we do and make it a priority to invest in time together as a design crew.

You’re a very experienced Product Designer

...and have a portfolio of thoughtful, impactful work over the course of 8+ years of industry experience to show for it! Ideally you’ve also worked on low-code, SaaS, or Enterprise desktop software.

You gravitate towards complex problems.

There’s no shortage of challenging, tangly problems to solve at Airtable. If the ideas of ambiguity, brainstorming, and possibilities have you nodding “yes” at this screen, we have some ideas about what you can work on.

You get people on board.

There are lots of opportunities to have a measurable impact as a self-starter at Airtable. You don’t hesitate to communicate and persuade collaborators on why a certain approach is best.

You’re interested in being on a first-name basis with our customers and users

We strive to check our assumptions and learn more about what inspires our customers to buy and build on the Airtable platform. You relish the idea of getting a chance to interview users and synthesizing input to improve your designs.

You inspire your colleagues to be the best versions of themselves.

We authentically admire and respect each other, and we think that motivates us to create great work.
