Job description
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
The Community You Will Join:
The Community Support Platform (CSP) team builds world-class tools for our team of Community Support ambassadors around the world, to ensure our guests and hosts have a great experience on Airbnb, 24⁄7, and 365 days a year. Airbnb has a huge global operational staff that must scale with our user base. Our job is as challenging as it is exciting: we own the entire tech stack responsible for their success.
Some example projects we have shipped:

You will collaborate across engineering, data science, product, and operations teams. These initiatives have high visibility and opportunity for company-wide impact.

- Mentoring engineers across the Community Support Platform Engineering team
- Influencing cross-org Quality initiatives to reduce defect introduction rate, reduce incident detection time, and refine incident response processes
- Being a collaborative teammate that can help elevate the rest of the engineering organization
Your Expertise:

- Strong proficiency in at least one major backend programming language (e.g., Java, Kotlin, Scala, Python) and experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue.js).
- Proven track record of delivering end-to-end products in a collaborative environment, from ideation and planning to implementation and launch.
- Experience with architectural patterns of large-scale web applications, including well-designed APIs, high-volume data pipelines, and efficient algorithms.
- Demonstrated ability to make data-driven decisions, articulate technical trade-offs, and communicate effectively with cross-functional partners.
