Infrastructure Engineer

Air is a Creative Ops System for creative teams. Our product automates the mindless tasks that creatives and marketers do every day to manage content and unlocks creativity through image recognition, automated versioning, and approval workflows. We launched in March 2021 and have raised +$70m from world-class venture capital groups including Avenir, Tiger Global, Headline Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, WndrCo, and Slack Ventures.

The Role

Shape the future of Air’s infrastructure as our next Infrastructure Engineer.

At Air, we’re building products that redefine how teams collaborate and organize their creative assets. As an Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll have the unique opportunity to design and build the foundation that powers these experiences. Your work will directly impact the performance, stability, and scalability of our products.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with a talented team to provide a secure, robust, and scalable platform for our Product and Engineering teams. From designing scalable systems to mentoring junior engineers, you’ll wear many hats and make a tangible impact on Air’s future. If you thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments and love building quality systems, we’d love to hear from you.

We work primarily in TypeScript across our stack: React for our web app, Electron for our desktop app, and Node for our backend. We’re built on AWS, so familiarity with their product suite is a must. You are willing to traverse the stack and make contributions across the layers to help drive strategic platform directions forward.

To help us filter genuine candidates, include the code AIR-ENG-2025 in the designated field of the application form.
