About this role
Airbnb needs little introduction, having grown from three guests in a San Francisco home in 2007 to over 5 million hosts and 2 billion guest arrivals. This role is on the Integrations and Application Engineering team, which owns the integration and automation platforms that let teams across Airbnb connect their systems and automate work. The focus is Finance integrations and reporting, plus the libraries and plugins that power Airbnb's in house platforms. You own architecture, delivery and reliability of integrations and microservices in Java, Python and TypeScript, migrate integrations off Oracle Cloud onto the in house platform, extend that platform so other technical teams can self serve, and mentor junior engineers and contractors through design reviews and pair programming. The posting is explicit about GenAI being part of the job rather than a buzzword, including building tools with Claude Code. Remote within Bangalore, India.
Who this is for
What the posting asks for: 8 or more years of software engineering experience with significant focus on building production systems, and separately a minimum of 2 or more years of hands on experience with AI integration architecture including using large language models in production workflows. Airbnb frames the ideal candidate as someone who takes ownership of systems and solutions, is eager to learn, and is enthusiastic about applying AI, specifically building new tools and integrations with Claude Code that extend what the team can do.
The real day to day, as Airbnb describes a typical day: partnering with Finance and cross functional teams to turn their requirements into integrations, automations and reporting. Working alongside architects and other technical teams in design discussions and reviews. Migrating integrations from Oracle Cloud onto the in house platform. Pairing with and mentoring junior engineers and contractors through design reviews, architecture discussions and pair programming. Triaging and resolving issues across the integrations and infrastructure you support. Exploring the GenAI landscape, evaluating new models and techniques, and sharing what you learn.
The stated responsibilities: owning the architecture, delivery and reliability of integrations and microservices in Java, Python and TypeScript, and extending the in house integration platform so technical teams across Airbnb can self serve.
Location and setup: the listing reads Remote, Bangalore, India. Confirm with the recruiter whether that means fully remote from anywhere in India or remote while based in Bangalore, since the two are different and the wording does not settle it.
Honest fit guidance: this is enterprise and internal platform engineering serving Finance, not consumer product work on the Airbnb marketplace, and that is a real distinction worth being honest with yourself about. What it offers is a large, well engineered internal platform, genuine AI adoption rather than a pilot, and a remote arrangement at a company with a strong engineering reputation. The Finance domain exposure is also a durable specialisation. If you want to work on search, pricing or the booking funnel, this is not that team.
