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.

Our team has a singular mission: make Airbnb the go-to platform across 40 markets in the region. Were embedded within the Guest and Host organisation and work in close collaboration with engineering teams in San Francisco and across the globe. Our work spans the full app and were empowered to make changes wherever theyre needed to win in the region.

Right now our focus is on the experiences that matter most - payments search pricing and inventory discovery - but our charter goes far beyond that. If something needs to change to drive success in Europe were the team that makes it happen.

Youll be working on technically challenging high-impact problems that shape how millions of Europeans travel and host. From enabling localised experiences that reflect how people in the region actually use the platform to building the trust and reliability that keeps both guests and hosts coming back - this is work that matters at scale.

A Typical Day:

  • Write clear technical designs for projects of moderate-to-high complexity balancing functional requirements and non-functional qualities (resilience testability observability).
  • Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional partners in Hosting Services to clarify requirements manage dependencies and ensure robust integrations.
  • Contribute to technical improvements that make the teams products higher quality and increase the teams velocity.
  • Help define and improve coding standards development processes operational runbooks and best practices.
