Join the Airfam Products team at Airbnb, where we're making every employee more productive through a unified digital headquarters experience. As a Senior Software Engineer on our team, you'll be instrumental in building Airbnb's next generation of AI-powered employee experience platforms.

You'll be part of a 13-person cross-functional team of engineers, designers, researchers, and product managers, working on platforms that serve Airbnb's entire global workforce. Our portfolio includes One Airbnb (the company's internal cultural hub with enterprise search, people profiles, and AI-powered chat), OneChat (Airbnb's enterprise AI assistant enabling secure LLM interactions), and a suite of tools that power how employees discover information, connect with colleagues, and get work done.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll lead the technical design and implementation of LLM-powered features for OneChat and enterprise AI tools, including RAG pipelines, agent orchestration, and prompt optimization. You'll partner with product managers, designers, and cross-functional teams to translate user problems into AI-powered solutions that serve Airbnb's global workforce.

You'll also architect and build production-ready AI/ML-integrated systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and low latency across multi-cloud environments. You'll develop and iterate on agentic AI capabilities, including multi-step reasoning, tool use, and context-aware decision-making.

In addition to your technical contributions, you'll mentor engineers through design reviews, architecture discussions, and pair programming sessions. You'll stay current with emerging AI technologies and evaluate their applicability to employee experience products.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our team, you'll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects, collaborate with a talented team of engineers and designers, and make a meaningful impact on Airbnb's employee experience.
