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:

Everyone at Airbnb thinks about trust, but our team obsesses over it daily. The Trust team is responsible for protecting our community and platform from fraud and safety issues while also ensuring our hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards. The Adaptive Risk Investigation (ARI) team creates foundational tools that empower Trust Operations to integrate and scale human intelligence in Trust Defense. The team works closely with the Trust defense teams and the Operations team to tackle the changing landscape of fraud and safety issues, and build platform features to enable Trust products and Operations teams to quickly build investigations queues and take enforcement actions.

The Difference You Will Make:

As part of the Trust Engineering team, you will work in a team of talented software engineers to help us build intuitive & delightful experiences, strengthen our current offerings, and deliver new products to strengthen our Trust defenses. You will play a significant role in shaping the technical vision and delivering flexible, efficient and scalable solutions to stay on top of the ever evolving attack vectors and make Airbnb the most safe and trusted community. There are still many unsolved problems to tackle in both online and offline risk, and we're looking for talented engineers to solve these challenges with us.

A Typical Day:

  • Work cross-functionally with product, operations, design, and other engineering counterparts to execute on product and business strategy to build high quality products and features
  • Drive, lead, and contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks.
  • Design, implement, and operate resilient and scalable distributed systems
  • Build and evolve platform capabilities to tackle the changing landscape of fraud attacks by collaborating with engineering teams in Airbnb’s Trust, Payment and CSP organizations. 
  • Provide critical input in the ARI team’s roadmap and technical direction.
  • Identify opportunities to improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of ARI services and drive their implementation.
  • Mentor other engineers in developing their technical and collaboration skills
  • Advocate and participate in efforts to advance Airbnb’s engineering processes and technical foundations.

Your Expertise:

  • 10+ years of industry engineering experience.
  • BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience
  • Hands on experience leading project teams and setting technical direction.
  • Experience with service-oriented architectures and developing large-scale distributed systems.
  • Proficiency in one or more backend languages (Java/Ruby/Kotlin etc). Familiarity with Scala is a plus. 
  • Experience with test driven development, familiar with A/B testing, incremental delivery and deployment.
  • Experience with platform architecture patterns and best practices.  Experience with building and leading infrastructure is a plus.
  • Experience with GraphQL is a plus
  • Experience with Salesforce or Redis is a plus.
  • Experience with the Trust and Risk domain is a plus.
