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 cases, automation coverage, test automation tools, environments, 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, the tests, tools and frameworks that we build have to scale to the needs of both our external customers but also to the expectations of our internal stakeholders. Therefore, our mission is to ensure that Airbnb has the test coverage, tooling and frameworks necessary to assure that our product workflows deliver a seamless high quality experience for our customers.
• As a Senior Android Engineer, you will help us meet this challenge by helping develop and maintain our automation coverage, test tools/environments/frameworks, writing and testing product/system code, participating in design reviews to architect testable systems, and guiding designs and code to improve its modularity and testability.
