Software Engineer, Guest & Host (Frontend)

Software Engineer, Guest & Host (Frontend)

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:

The Guest & Host team based out of India, operates to ensure high quality supply and merchandising differentiates our brand, by providing tools to be used by 1000+ operations agents for supply vetting and quality moderation. As Airbnb expands beyond the core, it is looking to onboard supply outside of the core stays business which requires enhancing our tools. The operational tasks we face are diverse and rapidly evolving. The current manual processes and lack of optimum tooling capabilities hinder the ability of operation agents to work more efficiently, maintain business continuity, and achieve higher scale.

We are working on a system that enables us to swiftly create new operational processes and adapt existing ones as we gain insights. We are improving both the quality of decisions and scaling operations by enhancing human processes and building task-specific tools, leveraging AI throughout the workflow, and simplifying workflow configurations and processes.
