Job description

At Airbnb, the best Chemical Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose PostgreSQL decisions age the gracefully. This mid-level opening gives you $75,000 - $110,000, hands-on ownership, and the mentorship to keep growing in technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Tune PostgreSQL queries until the AZ database stops timing out under load
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Keep Problem Solving schemas backward-compatible so Airbnb never forces a breaking upgrade
• Replace the brittle GitHub Actions hack with a Java solution that survives Phoenix scale
• Keep the TypeScript build pipeline green so Phoenix deploys never wait on a red light
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Airbnb can explain
• Pair-program tricky Resilience edge cases with engineers across Phoenix, AZ

What You'll Bring

• Enough Google Cloud to be dangerous, enough Java to be trusted
• Proven track record delivering results as a mid-level Chemical Engineer
• A Phoenix network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• A track record of hands-on delivery in a remote structure
• Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements

Airbnb partners with organizations across Phoenix, AZ to bring hardworking thinking to everyday technology challenges. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.

What sits behind the $75,000 - $110,000 offer is an Airbnb culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.
