Senior iOS Engineer, Developer Platform

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 Difference You Will Make:

  • Partner with iOS developers and leaders across Airbnb to understand their needs and define solutions that address them.
  • Be responsible for the iOS continuous integration, making it fast, reliable, efficient and delightful. As you progress on this track, you’ll have opportunities to contribute more broadly to other areas as well.
    You will drive a large impact through the direct, hands-on contributions you make to our infrastructure which will benefit our numerous engineers who will be forever grateful!

A Typical Day:

  • Your Expertise:
    5+ years of software engineering experience 
  • 3+ years experience with iOS/macOS infrastructure (build, CI, app release, xcode, developing runtime frameworks etc). Experience with CI infrastructure is a plus but not required.
