Original posting

Airbnb | Remote (preferably West Coast), Seattle, WA or San Francisco, CA | Staff/Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | airbnb.com Airbnb Infrastructure is hiring for several key positions - we're looking for talented engineers across a wide variety of domains to build the platform that supports our mission to create a world where anyone can belong anywhere. Airbnb is at a pivotal point in its growth and maturity as an engineering organisation. We run some of the largest Kubernetes clusters in the industry, have open sourced some extremely successful data tools (e.g. Superset), and are rapidly adopting newer technologies like Flink and Istio. We use Terraform, AWS and Chef extensively. My team (Cloud Infra > Compute Infra) mostly uses Golang but it helps to have familiarity with (or a lack of fear of) Java and Ruby, which most of our product teams use. We recently joined the CNCF end user community, and I recently shared my perspective on the Kubernetes ecosystem as part of a panel discussion [1]. I’m specifically helping hire for our Cloud Infra team, looking for engineers with experience with: - Kubernetes - Istio/other service meshes - Golang - Disaster recovery - Large scale infrastructure (think Borg, or Tupperware) - Load balancing and edge/cloud networking - CDNs Note that these positions are for experienced engineers and it helps if you have 5+ years of experience and/or have acted in a similar capacity in prior roles. Check out all open roles and apply on our site [1]. Note that most of these Cloud roles are not yet listed on our site. If you're interested in learning more, you can also send me a brief note about why you'd be a good fit, a link to the role you're interested in (if one exists online), and a resume to sunil.shah@airbnb.com.
