The Community You Will Join:

• The Quality Engineering team helps Airbnb build high-quality software efficiently. We enable Airbnb engineers to build highly testable systems. We own and continuously improve Airbnb’s test automation tools, environments and frameworks. We navigate Airbnb’s massive codebase identifying weak spots, and help design and implement testable fault-tolerant systems

The Difference You Will Make:

• As a global company and product, tools and frameworks that we build have to scale to the needs of both our external customers but also to our internal stakeholders. Therefore, our mission is to ensure that Airbnb has the tooling and frameworks necessary to assure quality at scale.
• As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help us meet this challenge by architecting and developing our test tools/environments/frameworks, writing and testing product/system code, leading design reviews to architect testable systems, and guiding designs and code to improve its modularity and testability. You are eager to understand complex systems top to bottom and thrive working across technologies and codebases. In addition, you excel at working through ambiguity, concept validation, and implementing best-in-class solutions.
