What Profile Should We Hire To Build Enterprise-grade Internal Tools On Airtable And Make?

Card image cap

What is your goal?

We’re looking for advice on what type of hire makes sense to help us build and maintain enterprise-grade, scalable internal tools using Airtable together with automation tools like Make.

What is the problem & what have you tried?

We’re trying to hire someone to level up our Airtable + Make setup and would love advice from people here who’ve scaled this kind of stack.

Our setup today:

multiple Airtable bases
500k+ records
frequent archival work
~50 daily users
integrations with Zapier, Make, n8n, Supabase, and Polytomic

At this point, our challenge is less about building fast and more about building a solid architecture that scales and stays maintainable.

We’re debating between profiles like:

low-code builders
backend/systems-minded engineers
implementation consultants

For those who’ve seen this done well, what type of person would you hire? What titles/backgrounds tend to work best? And what mistakes should we avoid?
