Python Job Details
Role overview Application
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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.
The Community You Will Join:
Pricing and Availability (Availability: Think "Vacancy Calendar") features on Airbnb.com are visible, familiar and tangible to our Guests. Our team owns Pricing and Availability end-to-end, both customer-facing and backend-compute. Pricing and Availability anchors the Guest booking flow from Search to Product page to Checkout, which requires low latency, high qps, and tier zero computation. We also collaborate closely with Design and Product to rapidly ship end-to-end product experiences with each release.
Our team is focused on quality, reliability, and simplifying the natural complexity of Pricing and Availability. Simplify in particular - we are focused on being nimble for regular new pricing features with each release - without bloating complexity. Our team also cares deeply about culture: A happy healthy team is a primary focus for us. We get stuff done - but are also supportive, honest, and aim to have fun.
The Difference You Will Make:
As a Staff Engineer in Pricing and Availability, you'll lead the development and refinement of major new features at the heart of the Guest experience on Airbnb. This includes reconciling new features with existing functionality, working closely with Designers to shape desired product goals into a feasible and viable Guest user experience, and last but not least, identifying underlying patterns and abstractions to help increase developer velocity while maintaining technical quality on critical surfaces for the Airbnb Guest experience.
At the Staff+ level, our Engineers are responsible for establishing a technical vision and then delivering a solution that is flexible, always available, efficient, and scales with the needs of the business. Each individual brings their own unique skill set, experiences, thought leadership and technical expertise to solve these technical challenges for Airbnb.
