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
We are building tools and a global community to make it easier for people to host on Airbnb. Our team focuses on co-hosting and the infrastructure that enables people to host together as a team. In close collaboration with engineering teams in the US and France, you will help shape the future of this global product by accelerating growth, deepening adoption, and unlocking the long-term potential of this business.
The Difference You Will Make
As the Engineering Manager, within Guest & Host Services, you’ll lead a team of talented, diverse software developers to operate and improve our co-hosting services and platform and build the groundwork for additional Airbnb architecture and features. This will include day-to-day operations, technical deep dives, community engagement, and strategic planning. You will work closely with your peers across the Booking, Payments, and Trust orgs.
Our engineering managers are responsible for creating the vision and then delivering a solution that is flexible, always available, efficient, and scales with the needs of the business. Each manager brings their own unique skill set, experiences, thought leadership and technical expertise to solve these technical challenges for Airbnb.
