Job description
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 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:
Global Tax Engineering at Airbnb solves some of the most challenging and unique problems faced by our business and our customers. We are a team of seasoned, highly skilled engineers who own user-facing product experiences and backend systems that serve our users directly and protect Airbnb’s ability to create Connection & Belonging to all people around the world.
The Difference You Will Make:
As a Senior Engineer on our seasoned team, you will be a crucial technical contributor on our most critical initiatives, often engaging with partners well outside of your direct team. You’ll contribute heavily to our flagship initiatives, and you’ll sometimes lead major projects with other engineers and functions, leveraging your skills and experience throughout the full software development lifecycle. Your ingenuity, technical expertise, and leadership abilities will serve as a force multiplier for your team and collaborators. You’ll help level up your team around you in technical and operational excellence, delivering on our short term commitments, while building momentum for the long term.
Together, we’ll pioneer innovative ways to deliver faster, more accurate, and higher-quality outcomes for Airbnb and its users.
A Typical Day:
- Design solutions, write code
- Work side by side with your core team, deep in the weeds of the code for services your team owns and operates
- Mentor and inspire your teammates, especially those with less experience than you
- See, own, solve, and execute on your own new ideas that will enable us to build products that can more effectively adapt to the often amorphous world of tax
Your Expertise:
- 5+ years relevant experience as software engineer, with expertise in technologies such as React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Design Systems, etc.
- Able to contribute/operate down the stack as needed: Java, Thrift, Airflow, or similar technologies
- Experience designing, building, launching, and operating complex, user-facing software
- Ability to toggle between executing on company-defined priorities and self-defined goals
- Great at collaborating and influencing technical direction on aspects not directly within your control
- Able to communicate well with a wide variety of cross functional partners such as Legal, Customer Support, Experience Design, etc.
- Skilled at managing initiatives with ambiguous or rapidly shifting requirements
- Able to contribute to the enrichment of the general engineering culture of the wider organization
- Experience with Global Tax or related regulatory/compliance domains highly desirable
