- The Omni Team(Full-Stack/BE, NYC) brings the power of AI directly to Airtable end users, making it easier than ever to search, navigate, and operate their applications. While other teams focus on embedding AI throughout the platform and building advanced tools for creators, this team's mission is simple: ensure AI is immediately helpful with little to no setup.

The team also builds foundational elements of Airtable's AI platform, enabling other engineering teams to deliver high-quality AI-powered experiences across the product.

- The Field Agents Team (Full-Stack/BE, SF) is layering AI capabilities into the core primitives in Airtable. In practice this has meant leveraging LLMs in Airtable Fields and Automations, creating a new concept of Agents that can autonomously do work on your behalf in Airtable.
