Do you thrive in an environment where you can design and build systems that directly shape how teams work every day? Every year Autodesk hires talented engineers to join our global teams and benefit from unlimited access to our technology and industry mentors. If this sounds like you… let’s talk.

We are expanding our support team for the Work Management Platform team, part of the Enterprise Systems & Experience (ESE) organization, to enhance the company’s IT systems, applications, and processes. Our engineering culture will empower you to make effective decisions, work collaboratively, and take accountability for engineering projects at the core of the company. The team is looking for an experienced Senior Airtable Developer and Builder to design, build, and evolve Airtable-based applications and workflows that support complex, cross-functional business operations at scale.

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Airtable Developer and Builder to join their Enterprise Systems & Experience (ESE) organization's Work Management Platform team. This role will lead the design, development, and evolution of Airtable-based applications and workflows that support complex, cross-functional business operations at enterprise scale. The ideal candidate will architect robust Airtable solutions including data models, automations, interfaces, and integrations with third-party systems like Jira, Confluence, and Power BI. Beyond technical development, this position serves as a subject matter expert who administers workspaces, ensures security and governance compliance, and enables teams through training and documentation. The role requires 4-6+ years of Airtable experience in an enterprise environment, along with Airtable Admin, Builder, and AI App Builder certifications. This is an opportunity to shape how teams work across Autodesk by building scalable, low-code solutions that reduce manual work and improve operational efficiency.

Responsibilities

Airtable Solution Design, Development & Architecture:

• Lead the design and implementation of robust Airtable solutions spanning multiple teams and business processes

• Define data models, schema, and relationships (linked records, lookups, rollups, junction tables) for performance, maintainability, and reporting

• Design and build advanced Airtable Interfaces and forms that provide intuitive user experiences for contributors, approvers, and leadership stakeholders

• Translate ambiguous or high-level business requirements into structured Airtable applications and documented technical designs

• Establish and enforce patterns for dev/test/prod environments, release management, and change control for Airtable-based solutions

Workflow Engineering, Automation & Optimization:

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to design and optimize end-to-end workflows using Airtable, automations, and connected tools

• Build advanced Airtable Automations (multi-step workflows, conditional logic, scheduled processes) to reduce manual work and improve data quality

• Leverage scripting (e.g., JavaScript) and Airtable’s scripting/automation capabilities to implement custom logic, validations, and orchestration

• Identify and deliver opportunities for standardization, reusable templates, and solution “building blocks” that can be applied across teams

• Continuously refine solutions based on feedback, metrics, and evolving business needs

Integrations Engineering & Data Flow:

• Design, implement, and maintain integrations between Airtable and third-party systems (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Productboard, Power BI, Microsoft 365, and internal platforms)

• Use APIs, integration platforms (e.g., Power Automate, n8n, or internal tools), and scripting to create reliable, observable data flows

• Proactively monitor integrations for health, performance, and data consistency; investigate and resolve failures and anomalies

• Document integration patterns, error-handling approaches, and recovery processes to enable repeatable, resilient implementations

• Partner with security, data, and platform teams to ensure integrations comply with data governance, privacy, and access control standards

Platform Administration, Security & Governance:

• Administer complex Airtable workspaces and environments: manage user access, roles, and workspace structure in alignment with organizational policies

• Implement and manage SSO integrations and role-based access controls; support periodic access and security reviews

• Define and document best practices, policies, and standards for Airtable usage across ESE and partner teams

• Partner with security, privacy, and governance functions to ensure Airtable solutions adhere to data classification, retention, and compliance requirements

End-User Support, Enablement & Evangelism:

• Serve as an L3 subject matter expert for Airtable: handle complex issues that junior admins and support staff escalate

• Provide guidance to junior Airtable admins/builders on patterns, standards, and best practices

• Develop and deliver training materials, documentation, and best-practice guides for internal teams and power users

• Conduct office hours, workshops, and demos to help teams understand what’s possible and how to use Airtable solutions effectively

Monitoring, Optimization & Reporting:

• Analyze performance and usage of Airtable solutions (record volume, automation runs, interface usage, integration throughput) and optimize where needed

• Develop dashboards and reporting (often using Airtable + Power BI or similar) to provide visibility into adoption, workflow performance, and business outcomes

• Support license management and workspace hygiene by identifying underused workspaces, redundant solutions, and opportunities for consolidation

Documentation, SOPs & Agile Ways of Working:

• Maintain excellent documentation for active work: keep epics, user stories, and tasks up to date so status is always clear and ready for planning and reporting

• Create and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, admin SOPs, and design records for Airtable solutions and integrations

• Participate in agile team rituals (standups, planning, refinement, retrospectives) and model strong hygiene around story updates, acceptance criteria, and work breakdown

• Help define and evolve the overall Airtable development lifecycle, including standards for documentation, testing, and deployment​

Minimum Qualifications

• 4–6+ years of experience building and administering Airtable (or similar low-code platforms) in an enterprise environment

• Proven experience designing Airtable bases, relationships, and interfaces for complex, multi-team workflows

• Hands-on experience implementing Airtable automations and scripts to support non-trivial business logic and process flows

• Demonstrated experience integrating Airtable with other enterprise tools (e.g., Microsoft 365, Jira, Confluence, HRIS, Productboard, BI tools) using APIs or integration platforms

• Experience leading end-to-end delivery of Airtable-based solutions: requirements, design, build, test, rollout, and ongoing optimization

• Strong background in end-user support, training, and documentation for business-facing systems

• Familiarity with security and compliance standards, including data governance and access control measures in a corporate environment

• Experience working in agile and/or ITSM-based environments (backlogs, sprints, incident/request handling)

Preferred Qualifications

• Must have Airtable Admin, Builder, and AI App Builder certifications from Airtable

• Experience with data migration projects involving platforms like Smartsheet, Trello, or legacy PM tools

• Hands-on experience with integration/automation tools such as Power Automate, n8n, or similar

• Experience with additional collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, or Google Workspace

• Understanding of ITSM principles and methodologies (e.g., ITIL) and how they apply to collaboration tools and low-code platforms

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, or equivalent practical experience

The Ideal Candidate

• Deep expertise in designing and building Airtable applications, with a strong focus on data modeling, Interfaces, forms, and automations

• Strong ability to analyze and optimize workflows and business processes, not just implement requested changes

• Proficient in Airtable automation and scripting; comfortable writing and maintaining JavaScript for custom logic and integrations
