This role offers an opportunity to work at a company that has transformed the travel industry, connecting over 5 million hosts with billions of guests worldwide.

As a Staff Web Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of shaping the guest experience on Airbnb, leading the development and refinement of major features. The role combines technical leadership with hands-on development, requiring both strategic thinking and deep technical expertise. You'll work on the team responsible for the main Product Details Page, which is central to the guest booking flow and manages guest pricing and availability across all Airbnb platforms.

The position demands a unique blend of frontend expertise and system-level understanding, with responsibilities ranging from technical design and implementation to mentoring other engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams. You'll be expected to establish technical vision while delivering scalable, efficient solutions that meet business needs.

Key aspects of the role include working closely with designers to transform product goals into viable user experiences, identifying patterns to increase developer velocity, and maintaining technical quality on critical surfaces. The role offers competitive compensation ($204,000 - $255,000), along with benefits including equity, bonuses, and Employee Travel Credits.

This remote position provides the flexibility to work from anywhere in the US (with some state restrictions), while still maintaining connection with the broader Airbnb community through occasional office visits or offsites.
