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 event logging team owns Airbnb’s platform for capturing user activity events, from page views and searches to backend events, across every client and backend service. We turn raw user activity logs into high-quality data that is available both near-real-time and long-term, and we're building on top of that platform to enable a seamless experience for nearly every engineering team at Airbnb to produce and consume event data. The Difference You Will Make: As a member of a diverse and distributed team, you’ll draw on deep backend expertise to drive the technical direction of event logging at Airbnb — owning initiatives that span our logging platform and shaping where it goes next.

Your Expertise: • 9+ years of industry engineering experience • Experience building internal infrastructure, particularly in event logging and observability, preferred • Strong communication, organizational, and collaboration skills with cross-functional teams • Deep expertise in one or more backend/server languages (e.g., Java, Kotlin, C++) and a track record of architecting high-traffic backend systems • Ability to work in areas outside of your usual comfort zone and show motivation for personal growth • Expertise developing solutions to ambiguous problems • Experience mentoring and growing engineers across an organization and driving best practices for software development. • Demonstrated ability to influence engineering strategy and shape technical priorities across a large organization.
