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.
Were building the next generation of Airbnb experiences for guests and hosts across Europe and EMEA - and were looking for a Backend Software Engineer to help us get there.
Our team has a singular mission: make Airbnb the go-to platform across 40+ markets in the region. Were embedded within the Guest and Host organisation and work in close collaboration with engineering teams in San Francisco and across the globe.
Our work spans the full app, and were empowered to make changes wherever theyre needed to win in the region.
Right now , our focus is on the experiences that matter most - payments, search, pricing, and inventory discovery - but our charter goes far beyond that. If something needs to change to drive success in Europe, were the team that makes it happen.
Youll be working on technically challenging, high-impact problems that shape how millions of Europeans travel and host. From enabling localised experiences that reflect how people in the region actually use the platform, to building the trust and reliability that keeps both guests and hosts coming back - this is work that matters at scale.
If youre excited by complex engineering problems, a broad mandate, and the chance to directly influence one of Airbnbs most important strategic priorities, this is the role for you.
