Airbnb Developer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Airbnb 23 July 2025

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.

UDS (Unified Data Store) team’s mission is to provide a reliable, scalable, and global system-of-record storage infrastructure for all Airbnb. The team is responsible for building and operating the paved path storage system for OLTP data, including all the critical data for Airbnb user, listing, booking and payment. With over 150 million Airbnb users and hosts around the world, reliability, scalability, security and world class user experience are our team’s core tenets. As a member of this team you would be working with experienced engineers on a modern distributed storage system. You will be the technological expert on data storage systems, high performance infrastructure service APIs, as well as provide guidance to Airbnb product teams on building world class products leveraging the infrastructure service you help build.

We’re looking to add Senior engineers who are hands‑on and capable of solving broad technical challenges in the following areas:

Build and operate an ORM service that provides a flexible and easy to use experience for storing and accessing system‑of‑record product data, while all aspects of the implementation complexity such as storage, indices, data placement, replication, security and lifecycle management would be abstracted away for the product developers.

Empower and simplify the way engineers at Airbnb define and manage data by building and operating a generalized data schematization solution for a wide variety of storage backends at Airbnb. The end‑to‑end solution covers data modeling, schema definition, schema life‑cycle management, and runtime schema discovery.

• 5+ years of relevant industry experience
• Hands‑on experience in building and operating large‑scale distributed systems
• Good understanding of systems and infrastructure fundamentals
• Ability to own and dive deeply in a complex code base
• Knack for writing clean, readable, testable, maintainable code
• Strong collaboration and communication skills in a remote‑working environment
