Airtable | San Francisco, CA or Mountain View, CA | Onsite | Software Engineer, Product Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, SRE, Engineering Manager
[COVID-19: The whole company is currently working remotely. Employees can be fully remote until at least summer 2021.]
Airtable's mission is to expand human productivity by letting everyone create tools to organize their world. Our current product includes a real-time collaborative database and a rich set of components for building tools using this database. Unlike single-purpose apps, we think of Airtable as a toolkit of building blocks that people can repurpose to create their own applications. Our roadmap is filled with enhancements and additions to this toolkit that will push the boundaries of Airtable's capabilities.
I work at Airtable on the platform team where we're allowing others to develop new capabilities for our users/customers. I chose to join after meeting some incredible people and learning about the culture.
We're hiring software engineers for web (JavaScript + TypeScript, Node, React), iOS (Objective-C, Swift), and Android, as well as data engineering, data science, SRE, and many other roles.
We're a team with diverse backgrounds. We believe in the power of highly motivated and capable individuals to accomplish great things in small teams, with end-to-end ownership of projects and rapid iteration.

Thanks, don't think I saw much impact at all in aggregate - our memory consumption on these web servers were dominated by objects we intentionally stored per request or globally, and not temporary/unreferenced python objects.
Reminds me of a time at Quora in 2011 where we saw Python GC impact 99th percentile server-side site speed. So drawing from HFT inspiration where some companies would disable JVM GC during trading hours and perform them offline, I thought about how to take some backends periodically offline in order to have GC not happen on user requests. A simpler operational solution emerged though where I just had to disable GC on user requests and make it happen only on a special "/_gc" endpoint. I then dual purposed the frequent nginx/haproxy backend health-check functionality to use that endpoint, thereby ensuring all backends had frequent GC and the time spent there only impacting the health check requests, and not that of end users.
The extension needs to be reviewed by Mozilla and signed unfortunately. 80% get done within 5 days but unclear if this will be the case here. Meanwhile you can use the bookmarklets at https://ctxt.io/faq but those won't work on CORS/CSP restricted sites.
It was harder that I thought, lots of quirks and behavioral differences even though the APIs used were relatively simple. Needed for example `e.preventDefault()`, requiring `<all_urls>` (unfortunately! - but that might allow me to allow copying styles from selection) and a bunch of style fixes just to get to parity.
Yep, discovered Firefox doesn't copy styles the same way as other webkit-based browsers like Chrome/Safari. Working on a Firefox extension which will solve all this, but even that has been a ton of quirks to deal with. 7% of my visitors used FF, 20% Safari and 66% Chrome, so I think my prioritization so far made sense. Will keep you posted on an FF extension.
Thanks for this great feedback and TLS tip. I'm using GAE to host this, and it only has these options https://ctxt.io/2/AAAAACLGEg. Do you think this is broken or how I generated the cert?
