Engineer - Product airbnb
THIS JOB HAS EXPIRED
Airbnb is revolutionizing the way the world travels. Tagged by Time Magazine as the "eBay of Space", Airbnb is a profitable, fast-growing, online marketplace giving everyday people the ability to monetize their most valuable asset: an extra bedroom, vacation rental, airbed, castle, boat, tree house or trailer. With a presence in over 26,000 cities in 192 countries Airbnb is backed by Sequoia Capital and Greylock and is one of their most exciting start-ups.
We're building an engineering team that can produce what teams 10 times our size can do. We love what we're building. We talk about product daily and how we can enrich the experience of our users further. We love working on challenging problems and working with smart engineers that can help us grow individually too. Most of all, we value engineering.
We?re looking for product aware engineers who are thoughtful, responsible and passionate builders who appreciate user experience. Generalists who are comfortable and eager to work on whatever is needed, be it the back-end or front-end and are either building a startup or working on their own projects. We believe that great product people use lots of products, so if you?re an active user of Airbnb, we are listening.
