Company mission
To create a world where anyone can belong anywhere.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of software engineering experience
- 3+ years experience with iOS/macOS infrastructure (build, CI, app release, xcode, developing runtime frameworks etc). Experience with CI infrastructure is a plus but not required
- Track record of delivering complex projects with a high level of autonomy and self direction
- First principle thinker who uses data to identify opportunity and prioritize projects
- Highly motivated to improve the productivity and experience of the people you work with
What the job involves
- The iOS Platform team is responsible for providing Airbnb’s iOS engineers with a world-class development environment, and for building foundational frameworks that shape the experience of millions of guests and hosts
- Be a core member of our iOS infrastructure team, contributing to our strategy and different workstreams
- Partner with iOS developers and leaders across Airbnb to understand their needs and define solutions that address them
- Be responsible for the iOS continuous integration, making it fast, reliable, efficient and delightful. As you progress on this track, you’ll have opportunities to contribute more broadly to other areas as well
- You will drive a large impact through the direct, hands-on contributions you make to our infrastructure which will benefit our numerous engineers who will be forever grateful!
- Architect, design & implement changes with a high level of autonomy across very different technologies (Swift, Xcode, Bazel, Buildkite, Terraform, Ruby, SQL…) to improve our CI
- Collaborate with iOS engineers from all across Airbnb, providing support or guidance when necessary
- Participate in all phases of software development from architecture/design through implementation, testing, and on-call
- Over time, drive our strategy for CI, using a data driven approach and your own intuition and understanding of our customers
Our take
When Airbnb was originally founded, the product helped customers book air mattresses on people's apartment floors. Since then, Airbnb has had over a billion customers hosted through its platform. With more than 4 million registered hosts worldwide, it has grown into a major player in the hospitality sector.
Airbnb has been successful in disrupting the traditional holiday lettings sector. Before it existed accommodation was limited to hotels and bed and breakfasts, but Airbnb has mainstreamed the idea of renting out spare rooms or even entire homes. It has created a new sector of hosts purchasing properties to rent out on the platform and provides a level of flexibility and a range of offerings not previously possible for travelers.
Perhaps a victim of its own success, by 2022 supply of Airbnb-listed properties began to outstrip demand in some markets, as hosts overestimated the appetite for domestic travel. However, the company is still posting strong financials and has unveiled new tools to support its hosts in a tougher rental market. With a healthy bottom line and a huge user base, Airbnb is very likely to overcome the current market turbulence and continue its growth.
