ChinaOn-site 1mo ago

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

The Community You Will Join:

The Global Markets Tech team drives the evolution of our guest and host experience across international markets through product innovation that accelerates international growth. Expanding in under-penetrated markets is a core pillar of our company strategy. To achieve this, we innovate at every level - adapting our product to the unique needs of every corner of the globe so that every user across our 220+ countries and regions feels right at home.

The team partners closely with Product, Design, Data Science, regional stakeholders, and core platform/vertical teams to translate local market needs into durable, scalable technology that can be piloted quickly and then rolled out broadly.

The Difference You Will Make:

A Senior Software Engineer in Global Markets is expected to deliver measurable international growth impact by building scalable product capabilities across key funnel surfaces (landing → search → pre‑booking) and by improving pricing, promotions, and discounts to increase conversion and customer value across markets.

A Typical Day

  • Partner with PM/Design/Data Science to clarify goals, requirements, constraints, and success metrics, and translate them into a sequenced technical plan.
  • Write or review technical designs, align tradeoffs, and coordinate dependencies with partner teams across regions.
  • Build production code and services with a high quality bar: testing, documentation, instrumentation, and performance/reliability considerations.
  • Run design and code reviews, advise engineers, and help drive consistent engineering standards across the team.
  • Own delivery: track execution risks, provide stakeholder updates, coordinate launches (including localization/market rollout), and monitor post-launch results to iterate quickly.
