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 Host Pricing & Settings team builds the platform and tools that help hosts run their business — with pricing strategies informed by market intelligence, comparable listings, and demand signals. We partner with Search, Listings, Tax, and Payments to ensure our guidance is accurate, timely, and trusted. Behind every pricing recommendation is a sophisticated ML system undergoing a fundamental rearchitecture. Our north star: a serving infrastructure where training, inference, and evaluation are consistent by design — features from a centralized store, model composition in one place, and backfills available on demand so data scientists and MLEs can evaluate candidates in days, not weeks. The Difference You Will Make: As a senior technical individual contributor, you will own the technical strategy for the full Modeling → ML Serving → API interface across the Host Pricing org. Although you will be at one of our highest levels of seniority, all individual contributors at Airbnb are Software Engineers — you are expected to be hands-on and contribute code. Define the architecture and contracts governing how models move from development to production — feature store design, model schema management, online/offline inference consistency, and multi-version support. Lead the buildout of a unified serving stack that eliminates per-model one-off implementations and gives data scientists a turnkey path from training to production. Architect backfill and evaluation infrastructure so the modeling team can simulate production inference over historical data in days, not weeks. Establish domain contracts between Modeling and Serving so each team can move independently with clear, enforced interfaces. A Typical Day: Review and evolve the ML serving architecture — making tradeoff calls on feature pipeline design, model composition, and API interfaces. Write and review code for feature engineering jobs, feature store configurations, and serving service endpoints. Partner with Data Science, MLE, MLI and core Pricing & Availability systems BE teams to define artifact handoffs and integration contracts. Drive milestone planning across the Host Pricing & Settings org, sequencing work to deliver value incrementally. Mentor engineers through design reviews and hands-on pairing on the hardest infrastructure problems. Your Expertise: 12+ years in backend or platform engineering, with substantial experience building production ML systems or data-intensive infrastructure. Strong programming skills in Java, Kotlin, Scala, and/or Python. Deep understanding of ML systems design: feature stores, training/serving consistency, model versioning, and online/offline inference pipelines. Experience with high-scale batch and real-time data pipelines (Spark, Airflow, Kafka, or equivalent), including point-in-time correctness for backfills. Expertise with architectural patterns of large, high-scale applications — well-designed APIs, efficient data contracts, multi-tenant serving infrastructure. Proven ability to lead cross-team technical initiatives spanning ML and platform engineering. Preferred Qualifications: Feature Store Depth: Production experience with Chronon, Tecton, Feast, or equivalent — including online/offline consistency and backfill automation. Model Serving Infrastructure: Experience with model schema management, multi-version support, and model composition frameworks. Domain Contract Design: Track record defining and enforcing technical contracts between ML modeling, MLI, serving teams and/or product surfaces. Evaluation Velocity: Measurable impact improving the speed at which ML teams evaluate candidate models and ship to production. Your Location: This position is US - Remote Eligible. The role may include occasional work at an Airbnb office or attendance at offsites, as agreed to with your manager.

Staff Backend Engineer - Ads Platform

Remotefull timeLead / StaffUnited States (Remote)
Apply Now

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 Ads Platform team builds the AI-powered growth engine behind Airbnb's paid marketing across Google, Meta, and the broader advertising ecosystem. We build the platform and intelligent systems that power paid campaigns — from creative to optimization to audience — at scale across every channel, with a strong commitment to brand safety, quality, and human oversight. Our ambition is bold: to build increasingly autonomous, AI-driven marketing systems that grow Airbnb's business. We sit at the intersection of engineering, marketing, and AI. You'll partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Design, work alongside Airbnb's ML/AI and data platform teams, and integrate deeply with the core product to turn a rich understanding of the customer journey into differentiated, high-performing paid experiences. The Difference You Will Make: As a Staff Software Engineer on the Ads Platform team, you will lead the technical strategy and hands-on execution of Airbnb's next-generation, AI-powered Growth Engine for paid channels (Google, Meta, and beyond). You will architect systems that autonomously manage the full lifecycle of paid campaigns — creative generation and rotation, bidding and budget optimization, audience management, and feed intelligence — at scale. Success looks like measurable gains in marketing efficiency (ROAS/CAC) and campaign velocity as we advance the platform along its AI-assisted → agentic → autonomous maturity curve, with the quality, brand safety, and human-in-the-loop controls that let us operate autonomously with confidence. A Typical Day: Set technical direction for the agentic Growth Engine — making architecture decisions on the systems that generate creatives, optimize bids and budgets, and manage audiences across Google, Meta, and other paid channels. Write and review code hands-on, establishing engineering standards for quality, availability, and system health across the platform. Partner directly with Marketing, Product, and Design to translate growth objectives into platform capabilities, and to define the human-in-the-loop controls that keep autonomous campaigns safe and on-brand. Advance the AI-assisted → agentic → autonomous roadmap, identifying where to introduce automation next and de-risking it through experimentation and staged rollout. Mentor engineers and act as a force multiplier — leveling up the team through design reviews, technical guidance, and a collaborative, inclusive culture. Collaborate with ML/AI and data platform teams on the models and signals that feed campaign optimization, and integrate deeply with the Airbnb product to understand the customer journey. Your Expertise: 9+ years of experience in a hands-on software engineering role. Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree, preferably in CS, or equivalent experience Technical leadership: hands on experience leading project teams, setting technical direction and strategy and mentoring engineers. Passionate about efficiency, availability, technical quality and system quality. Passion to level-up those around you through curiosity and fostering a collaborative and inclusive team environment. Proven experience in defining product/technical strategy and driving alignment with cross-functional leaders and stakeholders. Strong communication and collaboration skills with experience driving initiatives that span across teams, departments and leadership. Bonus - Hands-on experience with paid advertising platforms (Meta, Google, or similar) — you understand how the ecosystem works, not just the engineering surface.
