Senior Software Engineer, Cancellations

The Community You Will Join:

The Cancellation team within our Guest & Host organization owns the product and systems responsible for managing Guest, Host, and administrative cancellations on the platform. Some examples include Cancel by Guest and Cancel by Host flows & backing orchestration. Similar to the booking flow itself, most new Airbnb features and products interact with Cancellations, so defining and executing a strategy that enables both development speed and management of that complexity is a critical core competency for the team.

The Difference You Will Make:

• Own key company level problem statements and drive critical projects
• Identify and systematizing areas of significant business complexity around Cancellations (e.g. Supporting cancellations for new product offerings)
• Work closely with cross functional partners including PM, Design, Data, and TPM.
• Think ahead to ensure we’re building capabilities and not just features into the Cancellation system thereby reducing cost of future features.

Your Expertise:

• 5+ years engineering experience with a BS/Masters and 2+ years with a PhD
• Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree, preferably in CS, or equivalent experience
• Experience in building and scaling high-quality and high-traffic products (or systems).
• Ability to evaluate technical approaches and design product solutions to solve real-world problems.
• Ability to drive alignment, manage projects and effectively collaborate with stakeholders.
• Mentorship to junior developers
