Airtable Software Engineer interview with a sharp system design ramp

I started with an online assessment whose questions felt close to the kind of work Airtable actually does. After submitting it, I moved into a coding round focused again on data structures and algorithms, though it was framed more like a real-world task than pure LeetCode. The time limits and scoring varied, but the expectation stayed consistent: write clean code, handle edge cases, and make it work from end to end.

I was then scheduled for another stage, and that's where the process stopped for me. I reached the system design-style portion and didn't handle it well, even though the earlier technical conversation had felt solid. The interviews were fairly structured, but doing well technically still came down to getting through the harder rounds, especially anything that involved designing or extending a real Airtable feature.

I ended without an offer. The most frustrating part was how quickly the difficulty increased after I cleared the initial OA.

Location: United States. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
