Airbnb

The Community You Will Join

Airbnb is a mission-driven company dedicated to helping create a world where anyone can belong anywhere. It takes a unified team committed to our core values to achieve this goal. Airbnb's various functions embody the company's innovative spirit and our fast-moving team is committed to leading as a 21st century company.

The Difference You Will Make

The Web Platform’s mission is to empower engineers at Airbnb working within our Typescript monorepo to deliver innovative features with high velocity and quality by providing foundational libraries, frameworks, and tools for development, testing, and release. With a focus on web-specific technologies and integrations, the team serves as a nexus between product engineers and platform-agnostic infrastructure teams, as well as shaping and ensuring the health of the monorepo itself.

The surface area of the team includes things like testing frameworks, developer environments, bundler and build system implementations, CI jobs, client libraries for observability and experimentation, editor integrations, and an internal web service framework. Projects on this team directly impact the productivity and experience of Airbnb developers working on web code.

A Typical Day

As an engineer on Web Platform, you will work on technologies that help shape an industry-leading end to end developer experience. In this role you will:

  • Contribute across the team’s surface areas to directly move our core metrics (developer experience, developer velocity, debuggability, performance, and reliability) while reducing cost and providing new functionality to help make our team’s vision, and that of our broader org, a reality.
  • Partner with Airbnb product teams to understand their pain points, pilot proposed solutions, and encourage adoption of tools and frameworks
  • Collaborate with a wide variety of infrastructure teams as well as support product foundation teams as they build additional capabilities on top of the team’s offerings.
  • Participate in all phases of software development from architecture/design through implementation, testing, and on-call
  • Support teammates in enabling code quality, operational excellence, and shared learning

Your Expertise

  • 9+ years of experience in a hands-on software engineering role, including frontend web development
  • Strong expertise with TypeScript/JavaScript
  • Strong expertise with advanced JavaScript frameworks such as Backstage or advance experience with VS Code
  • Strong communication skills and experience working closely with other engineering teams across complex interfaces
  • Love collaborating via code reviews and architecture discussions, and are motivated to improve their teammates’ productivity
  • Expertise with working with documentation infrastructure like Backstage or similar, and/or working on IDE infrastructure like VS Code plugins or language server
  • [Bonus] Experience (beyond configuration) working with bundlers, testing frameworks, editor integrations, frontend build/CI systems, observability tooling, or developer environments.
