Airtable is the no-code app platform that empowers people closest to the work to accelerate their most critical business processes. More than 500,000 organizations, including 80% of the Fortune 100, rely on Airtable to transform how work gets done. Join Airtable as an Infrastructure Security Engineer and play a pivotal role in shaping the security architecture of our rapidly evolving infrastructure as we scale to support millions of users and complex AI-powered workloads. You will join the team responsible for safeguarding the foundations of Airtable’s platform. You will partner with infrastructure engineering teams and build paved roads, frameworks, and automated controls that make the secure path the easy path for our engineering teams.

  • Develop self-service security frameworks and "paved roads" that allow engineering teams to ship secure infrastructure by default.
  • Focus on automated guardrails that prevent insecure configurations without blocking developer velocity.
  • Design and implement security controls for our core infrastructure, including AWS, Kubernetes, and our CI/CD pipelines.
  • Evolve our approach to identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and machine identity to ensure least-privilege access at scale.
  • Collaborate closely with the Compute, Storage and Traffic Engineering teams to contribute to architecture design and threat modeling for new infrastructure initiatives.
  • Proactively harden our production environment against attacks and assist in building detection capabilities for infrastructure-level-threats.
  • (Senior/Staff L5+): Act as a subject matter expert for infrastructure security, mentoring other engineers and helping to raise the security bar across the entire engineering organization.
  • 4+ years of experience in security engineering or infrastructure engineering, with a strong focus on cloud security. Please note this is not an early career position.
  • You have a strong background in computer science with a degree in CS or a related field or equivalent practical experience.
  • You have deep familiarity with AWS (or similar cloud providers) and container orchestration technologies like Kubernetes.
  • You understand the unique security challenges of distributed systems.
  • You are proficient in writing and reviewing code and treat security as an engineering problem to be solved with software, not just policies.
  • You have experience with IaC tools like Terraform and understand how to secure infrastructure delivery pipelines.
  • 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.
