About the position
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 Partner Ecosystem team is working to unlock those 3rd party (“3p”) software systems with a Key of Awesomeness, and use them to build a platform for connectivity: bringing hosts and guests closer to the things that matter. As a Senior Engineer on the Partner API team, you will work with our most senior technical leaders to design and build the company’s platform strategy for 3p integrations. Your impact will be to free Airbnb product teams to imagine the best ways to build for our customers, even when that means tapping into capabilities or marketplaces developed outside of Airbnb, and to easily build and maintain the external connections to realize those benefits.
Responsibilities
- Gather requirements and work with other engineering leaders to set the vision for our 3p partnership platform that will have Airbnb-wide impact
- Work within your engineering team to design the system architecture, existing and future, for the platform
- Make the right decisions about technology choices
- Mentor top junior engineers, establish and demand best practices through your engineering leadership
- Immerse yourself in the team’s entire software development lifecycle and have a hands-on impact in shaping the process
- Share your team’s work across our company’s tech org, get buy-in, and influence product strategy across Airbnb to use our awesome platform
Requirements
- 6+ years of software engineering experience, having an ownership role in large-scale software systems
- You’re a builder, and implementer, who seeks out high impact work (or it seeks out you), and who is proactive, curious, and an excellent communicator
- You have ideally built foundational platforms that other product teams within your company then built on top of, or built public APIs used by 3rd parties external to your company, or built integrations with other external companies
Benefits
- Base pay range of $191,000—$223,000 USD
