AI will transform every business, but we’re still just scratching the surface of its potential. Its true power lies in its ability to automate the often overlooked workflows that are the lifeblood of organizations. At Airtable, we are evolving into an AI-native platform, and we have the unique opportunity to provide AI tools that are deeply embedded within a team’s data and workflows. We’re looking for a talented senior design leader to join our team and help guide this transformation by driving the creation of new experiences.

How might AI transform user intent into data schema, workflows, and interfaces? How do we give users meaningful control when automation is doing work on their behalf? How do we design complex, multi-step experiences that feel simple? If you’re ready to dig into these questions with a crew of humble, talented, and deeply thoughtful designers, we can't wait for you to apply. 

You’ll be an integral part of a collaborative team, contributing to both strategic vision and design execution.

What you'll do

Craft exceptional experiences

Using your full range of product design skills to discover, design, and deliver intuitive, well-crafted experiences. You’ll elevate some Airtable’s most critical workflows while holding a high bar for overall design quality.

Contribute to a vision of Airtable 

The platform is evolving rapidly and we want you to help define a strong point of view about where we are going. You’ll shape not just features but the broader arc of how Airtable grows. We are committed to becoming an AI-native platform, and we’re looking for a designer to help steer this evolution and shape how these new capabilities integrate into the core user experience.

Build and prototype in code

We’re excited about designers who are curious about bridging the gap between design and development. You’ll build working prototypes to explore and validate interactions in realistic environments. Using tools like Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot, you’ll communicate your ideas through working software—not just static screens. You don't need to be a developer, but you should be getting comfortable and familiar with experimenting in code.

Work closely with cross-functional partners

Partner effectively with Product Managers, Engineers, and other stakeholders to create cohesive user experiences across Airtable. 

See Airtable through the eyes of our customers

Our users are passionate builders working towards very specific workflows and outcomes across industries. You’ll have direct conversations with them, run interviews and use their feedback to inform your work. 

Help our design team thrive

The design culture at Airtable is 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. We are actively evolving how we work together as a team, including experimenting with agentic workflows, AI-assisted design operations, and new ways of prototyping and thinking through problems. We're looking for someone who is genuinely excited to help shape what that looks like. We love what we do, and make it a priority to invest in time together as a design crew.

Who you are

You’re an experienced Product Designer.

You have 8+ years experience and have a portfolio of thoughtful, impactful work to show for it. Bonus if you’ve worked on AI, SaaS, or zero-to-one projects. 

You gravitate towards ambiguous, novel problems.

There’s no shortage of hard design challenges at Airtable. If ambiguity, brainstorming, and endless possibilities sounds energizing you’ll thrive here. 

You’re fluent in prototyping and exploration.

You move easily between sketching, detailed interaction design, and working prototypes. You use whatever medium best communicates the idea (including code). 

You’re curious about where software creation is headed.

You’re staying up-to-date with emerging tools and are familiar with new interaction patterns, interfaces, and agentic workflows that are changing the way we work.

You make people around you better. 

We authentically admire and respect each other, and we think that brings out our best work. We invest heavily in making our people great.
