Description For Staff Software Engineer, Guest & Host

Airbnb, the global travel and hospitality platform founded in 2007, is seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join their Host Calendar team. This role focuses on developing next-generation tools that empower Airbnb hosts to effectively manage their properties and optimize their revenue. The position involves working on the Host Calendar, a crucial tool that provides hosts with comprehensive booking management capabilities and market insights.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for driving technical strategy and implementation, working closely with product and design teams to create solutions that enhance the host experience. This role requires someone who can balance business priorities, user experience, and technical excellence while leading large-scale projects and mentoring junior engineers.

As a Staff Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of building and maintaining high-scale distributed systems that directly impact millions of hosts worldwide. The role offers the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology while solving complex problems in the travel and hospitality space. You'll be part of a team that values innovation, experimentation, and quality, with the chance to make a significant impact on how hosts manage their businesses on Airbnb's platform.

The position offers competitive compensation, including a base salary range of $204,000 - $254,000 USD, plus equity, bonuses, and travel benefits. While the role is remote-eligible within the US, it may require occasional office visits or offsite meetings. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced engineer looking to make a meaningful impact in a company that has transformed the way people travel and experience new places.
