Senior Software Engineer Community Support Engineering

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:

Community Support Platform (CSP) is responsible for the world-class technology, architecture, and solutions that power Airbnb’s global community support operations.

• Build efficient and reusable backend components, with high quality, while making sure to maintain performance and scalable systems.
• Provide critical input in team roadmap and technical direction.

Your Expertise:

• 6+ years industry experience
• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree, preferably in CS, or equivalent experience
