About The Position

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. The Community You Will Join: The Guest Displays & Platforms team owns the main product details page (PDP) along with Pricing & Availability across the booking flow for all products (Homes, Hotels, Experiences, Services). Our work is at the heart of the Airbnb guest UX, so we work very closely with many teams, including Search, Checkout, Listings, Users, Host Settings, Payments, Tax, Cities, and Trust to create a seamless and consistent guest experience. The Difference You Will Make: You’ll work with a talented and diverse group of mobile engineers to build high-quality, mobile-first experiences that help our guests book their travel on Airbnb. In this role, you’ll help shape the mobile technical vision by delivering flexible, performant, and scalable iOS solutions on one of Airbnb’s most critical surfaces. You’ll collaborate across multiple agile product teams, applying your mobile expertise to solve complex problems and drive meaningful impact for our global community. We’re looking for an individual who is passionate about owning and improving the foundation upon which our products are built. We are a tightly knit team that thrives on trust and care for each other, allowing everyone to bring the best versions of themselves to work. We expect an ideal candidate for this role to share these values and uplift our team’s culture in their own unique way.
