Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with a strong technical background and the ability to innovate in our Trust engineering efforts. Candidates should have experience in system architecture and development, as well as a passion for implementing safety and trust solutions in technology.

About the job

Airbnb started in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests into their San Francisco home. Since then, the platform has grown to over 5 million hosts and more than 2 billion guests worldwide. Hosts offer unique stays and experiences that connect travelers with local communities.

Trust Engineering at Airbnb

Trust sits at the heart of Airbnb’s platform. The Trust Engineering team builds technology to keep the community safe and uphold high standards for hosts, guests, homes, and experiences. Their work addresses both online risks, such as account compromise, fake listings, and financial loss, and offline concerns like theft, property damage, and personal safety. The team’s responsibilities include user onboarding, screening, identity, and reputation systems. Trust Engineering leads the technical vision for these systems and integrates them throughout Airbnb’s platform.

Role overview

The Senior Staff Software Engineer, Trust, is a senior individual contributor role. This engineer partners with technical leaders across Airbnb to shape, plan, and deliver a broad roadmap of Trust engineering projects. The position involves extensive collaboration with teams throughout the company. While highly senior, this is still a hands-on engineering role, every Airbnb software engineer, regardless of level, contributes code and development work.

What you will do

  • Define and drive the long-term vision and strategy for the Trust Platform, setting architectural direction for core systems that support scalable, high-quality fraud detection, safety, and trust decisions across Airbnb.
  • Work deeply within Trust Platform components, developing system and performance tools, and identifying ways to improve technical quality, operational excellence, and developer experience.
  • Promote an AI-first engineering approach, using LLM-powered agents to generate and refine code, so you can focus on problem-solving, system design, and quality oversight.

Location

This position is remote and based in the United States.
