Airbnb is seeking an iOS Engineer to join their Engineering Prototyping team, with flexibility to hire at Senior, Staff, or Senior Staff level. This role is part of a small but capable team that works across Airbnb's product portfolio, building prototypes for iOS, Android, and web platforms.

The position involves close collaboration with Design, Product, and Engineering teams to identify and answer key questions through software prototyping. Your work will range from focused explorations solving specific design or feasibility questions to broader investigations validating new features and capabilities.
