In this role, you will help to shape and execute the technical direction of the team's infrastructure and products.
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 mission is to make every Airbnb engineer's day better by building world-class developer infrastructure that removes friction and provides the tools to unlock their best work. The Dev AI team specifically builds the foundational AI tooling and infrastructure that powers developer productivity across the entire software development lifecycle, also providing the building blocks for teams across the company to quickly and simply create their own domain-specific AI tools. We currently serve as both a platform team and an internal AI consultancy for partner teams building their own internally-facing AI-powered solutions.
In this role, you will help to shape and execute the technical direction of the team's infrastructure and products. You'll work across a range of exciting problem spaces, from agentic coding tools and asynchronous AI workflow platforms, to SDKs for rapid internal AI app development and AI-assisted code migration. At Airbnb, you won't just build AI tools; your work will shape how individuals across the company work every day. The tools you create will directly accelerate the pace of innovation across our entire product surface.
We're a collaborative, low-ego, and highly-visible team that values experimentation, learning, and shipping. We celebrate what works and learn quickly from what doesn't. Given the rapid evolution of AI, we strive to operate with startup-like agility, iterating swiftly to evaluate and incorporate the most recent AI technologies into our developer tooling. If you enjoy building, collaborating across teams, thrive when given high autonomy, and are motivated to make the lives of other developers easier and more enjoyable, we’d love to hear from you.

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.
