Key responsibilities

• Design and build Airtable Custom Interfaces that function like applications and support real workflows on top of Airtable data.
• Develop full UI features using React and TypeScript, with a strong emphasis on front-end implementation.
• Convert design concepts into polished, reliable components while keeping usability and visual detail in mind.
• Integrate a third-party SDK and connect the front end to the required data sources.

• Strong command of TypeScript and modern front-end patterns.
• A product-minded approach to UI engineering, including loading states, edge cases, and performance considerations.
• Comfort working with external APIs/SDKs and independently reviewing technical documentation.
• Ability to think through data structures and how information moves from the data layer into the interface.
• Track record of delivering complete features or applications, not only isolated UI elements.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.

Preferred experience

• Prior work on Airtable Custom Interfaces or other internal tools built on Airtable.
