Temporary Airbnb Customer Service Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Community You Will Join:

The Ads Platform team builds the AI-powered growth engine behind Airbnb's paid marketing across Google, Meta, and the broader advertising ecosystem. We build the platform and intelligent systems that power paid campaigns - from creative to optimization to audience - at scale across every channel, with a strong commitment to brand safety, quality, and human oversight. Our ambition is bold: to build increasingly autonomous, AI-driven marketing systems that grow Airbnb's business.

We sit at the intersection of engineering, marketing, and AI. You'll partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Design, work alongside Airbnb's ML/AI and data platform teams, and integrate deeply with the core product to turn a rich understanding of the customer journey into differentiated, high-performing paid experiences.

The Difference You Will Make:

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Ads Platform team, you will lead the technical strategy and hands-on execution of Airbnb's next-generation, AI-powered Growth Engine for paid channels (Google, Meta, and beyond). You will architect systems that autonomously manage the full lifecycle of paid campaigns - creative generation and rotation, bidding and budget optimization, audience management, and feed intelligence - at scale. Success looks like measurable gains in marketing efficiency (ROAS/CAC) and campaign velocity as we advance the platform along its AI-assisted agentic autonomous maturity curve, with the quality, brand safety, and human-in-the-loop controls that let us operate autonomously with confidence.

A Typical Day: 

• Set technical direction for the agentic Growth Engine - making architecture decisions on the systems that generate creatives, optimize bids and budgets, and manage audiences across Google, Meta, and other paid channels.
• Write and review code hands-on, establishing engineering standards for quality, availability, and system health across the platform.
• Partner directly with Marketing, Product, and Design to translate growth objectives into platform capabilities, and to define the human-in-the-loop controls that keep autonomous campaigns safe and on-brand.
• Advance the AI-assisted agentic autonomous roadmap, identifying where to introduce automation next and de-risking it through experimentation and staged rollout.
• Mentor engineers and act as a force multiplier - leveling up the team through design reviews, technical guidance, and a collaborative, inclusive culture.
• Collaborate with ML/AI and data platform teams on the models and signals that feed campaign optimization, and integrate deeply with the Airbnb product to understand the customer journey.

Your Expertise:

• 9+ years of experience in a hands-on software engineering role.
• Bachelor's and/or Master's degree, preferably in CS, or equivalent experience
• Technical leadership: hands on experience leading project teams, setting technical direction and strategy and mentoring engineers.
• Passionate about efficiency, availability, technical quality and system quality.
• Passion to level-up those around you through curiosity and fostering a collaborative and inclusive team environment.
• Proven experience in defining product/technical strategy and driving alignment with cross-functional leaders and stakeholders.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with experience driving initiatives that span across teams, departments and leadership.
• Bonus - Hands-on experience with paid advertising platforms (Meta, Google, or similar) - you understand how the ecosystem works, not just the engineering surface.
