The Community You Will Join:
The Guest Displays & Platforms team owns the main product details page (PDP) for Stays and Experiences as well as all Pricing & Availability (P&A) capabilities across all guest-facing surfaces.

The Difference You Will Make:
Lead engineering planning and delivery of a wide range of new and improved guest-facing features and capabilities powering Airbnb’s core lines of business.

A Typical Day:
Work with product, design and other stakeholders to determine and document requirements
Work with engineers to plan, sequence, make tradeoffs and deliver new features and capabilities
Understand the state of our systems to determine where investment may be needed to maintain product quality and system health
Distill and communicate deliverable plans and celebrate shipping
Hire and coach exceptional engineering talent, spending lots of time one-on-one to understand underlying motivations and dynamics
Your Expertise:
3-5+ years of engineering management experience, with 9+ years of relevant software development industry experience in a fast paced tech environment
Expertise with both backend and client (iOS, Android, Web) systems in large-scale consumer applications
Excellent communication and presentation skills tuned for both technical or non-technical audiences
End-to-end, product-oriented mentality that transcends team boundaries and helps find globally optimal solutions
Good judgment in making tradeoffs to balance short-term business needs with long-term technical quality
Strong collaboration skills, able to work effectively and find common ground with a wide range of teams who may have conflicting goals and priorities
