Join to apply for the Staff Software Engineer, Reliability Engineering role at Airbnb

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

We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Site Reliability Engineering team. As a Staff Software Engineer in SRE, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining the tools and systems that enable our engineering teams to operate our services reliably and at scale. You will work closely with our SREs and other engineering teams to ensure our services are properly instrumented and able to scale with our growing business.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your expertise in developing and maintaining tools and systems will be instrumental in bolstering our services' reliability and improving how the company manages incidents broadly. By collaborating closely with other engineering teams you will help establish a culture of reliability throughout the organization by providing a comprehensive incident management platform that is being used for instrumentation, operability, and around incidents. Your ability to identify opportunities for improvement and drive their implementation will contribute significantly to our overall operational efficiency and growth, ensuring that our services remain resilient as our business continues to expand.

Additionally, as an essential part of this role, you will serve as an active member of our first responder SRE team, responding to and managing high severity incidents. Your vast technical experience and leadership skills will be invaluable as you step into the role of Incident Commander during these critical events. You will guide cross-functional teams during crisis situations and ensure timely resolution, minimizing the impact on our customers and business. This aspect of your work will require not just strong technical acumen, but also excellent communication and coordination skills, resilience under pressure, and a firm commitment to our culture of blamelessness and continuous learning.

A Typical Day

  • Design, implement and maintain the tools and systems that support service reliability, monitoring, and alerting.
  • Collaborate with other engineering teams to ensure services are designed with reliability in mind, and provide guidance on the appropriate use of tooling and automation.
  • Identify opportunities to improve the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of our services and drive their implementation.
  • Work with SREs to understand the challenges they face in operating our services and develop tools and systems to help them manage these challenges.
  • Participate in incident response and post-mortems to identify and address systemic issues.
  • Continuously evaluate new technologies and industry best practices to improve our SRE tooling and incident response procedures.
  • Gain and maintain an intimate understanding of how the critical parts of the site work (services, infrastructure, tooling, and processes)
  • Lead high-urgency incident management and mentor less-experienced team members in effectively handling incidents.
  • Contribute to better incident retrospectives, driving improvements in our overall reliability and incident response time.

Your Expertise

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
  • 9+ years of experience in software engineering or SRE roles, with a focus on large scale distributed systems.
  • Strong coding skills in at least one programming language, such as Java, Python, or Go.
  • Experience with distributed systems and service-oriented architectures.
  • Experience with cloud computing platforms such as AWS or Google Cloud Platform.
  • Strong conviction in software development best practices, including version control, automated testing, and continuous integration and delivery.
  • Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced and dynamic environment.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
