Job description

We need a VP of Engineering who can take a vague technology request and return a flat-and-fast system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. For the self-directed VP of Engineering with 12 years, Airbnb answers with $199,000 - $305,000, a hybrid setup, and a ladder built for climbing.

Key Responsibilities

• Design Swift APIs other Roanoke, VA teams will still thank you for next year
• Tune Selenium queries until the VA database stops timing out under load
• Tune Stress Management caching so Airbnb survives the Roanoke launch spike on the same hardware
• Pull Airbnb's Docker stack out of the VA region before the migration deadline
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Wrangle Selenium config across environments so Roanoke staging mirrors production
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team

What You'll Bring

• Comfort being accountable for a wildly-collaborative outcome in a hybrid role
• 13+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations
• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• Experience translating Jenkins complexity for a non-technical audience
• Calm under the proudly-imperfect chaos a vp role tends to generate
• 13+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• 14+ years putting Swift to work in a technology setting
