Engineering Manager, Guest Displays and Platforms

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

The Guest Displays & Platforms team owns the main product details page (PDP) along with Pricing & Availability across the booking flow for all products (Homes, Hotels, Experiences, Services). Our work is at the heart of the Airbnb guest UX, so we work very closely with many teams, including Search, Checkout, Listings, Users, Host Settings, Payments, Tax, Cities, and Trust to create a seamless and consistent guest experience.

The Difference You Will Make

You will lead the Pricing & Availability Platform team, responsible for the engine that computes trip-level pricing, availability and related merchandising across the booking flow. The team specializes in low-latency, high-throughput systems powering Airbnb’s highest-traffic surfaces. The team is primarily backend focused, but produces outputs shown across many surfaces and is some of the most critical and high impact details affecting the guest experience and success of Airbnb’s core lines of business. You will build a strong and diverse team capable of turning ambitious product visions into polished reality, nurturing a culture of technical quality and strengthening our systems along the way.
