The Location team at Airbnb is responsible for building a world class search experience for our guests. The team works on one of the most used features at Airbnb - the map search experience and aims to provide our guests the necessary location context for them to easily and efficiently find the right listings for their journeys. The team also owns a family of products in the location space, such as point of interests, the places page, and guidebook.
The team is cross-discipline with expertise in iOS, Android, web and backend development and works closely with other search teams, platform teams, and partners in design, product, and data science to deliver new search experiences for Airbnb’s guests.
