The Core Experience team at Airtable is looking for senior frontend product engineers with a particular focus on and expertise in accessibility. You will collaborate closely with product, design, research and data science to spec, build, test and ship new features, and improve the complex web client.

The team owns the UI layer of the Airtable app building platform. This layer (Interface Designer), sits atop the Data and Automations layer, and enables customers to create customized interfaces, supporting an expansive array of use cases. Among other initiatives, Core Experience is driving a multi-team effort to greatly improve the current state of accessibility in the Interfaces layer of the product.

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 that are based in San Francisco/New York who are open to coming into the office at least ~2-3 times/week for team collaboration.
