Tech Lead Manager, Finance Integrations & Automation - BizTech

We are seeking a Tech Lead Manager to lead and grow a team of engineers focused on Finance integrations and automations. As a Tech Lead Manager, you will operate hands-on at a senior IC level, setting technical direction, owning delivery, and writing and reviewing code yourself.

The Integrations & Application Engineering team enables teams across Airbnb to self-serve in connecting their systems and automating solutions. The team also builds and manages custom in-house solutions and the application infrastructure that supports them.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Finance and ERP integration practice: set direction, run initiatives in parallel, and own the systems and processes your team supports.
• Balance management with hands-on work: unblock the team, review designs and code, and build complex integrations, backend services, APIs and MCPs yourself.
• Partner with Finance, Procurement, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into integrations, automations, and reporting.
• Coach and grow engineers and contractors through design reviews, architecture discussions, and career development.
• Own the smooth operation of month-end financial integrations and reporting, proactively surfacing and fixing gaps.
• Explore the evolving GenAI landscape, evaluate new models and techniques, and share the learnings.

Role & Responsibilities

• Lead a team of engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and developing careers, while personally contributing at a Staff IC level.
• Own the architecture, delivery, and reliability of ERP and Finance integrations and microservices in Java / Python.
• Migrate integrations from Oracle Cloud onto our in-house platform, and extend that platform so teams across Airbnb can self-serve.
• Design and build AI-assisted automations and MCP integrations that extend internal platform capabilities.
• Contribute to organizational priorities and to defining the team roadmap and strategy.
• Uphold quality, reliability, and security through code reviews, testing, monitoring, and incident response.

Requirements

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including building and operating production systems and integrations.
• Experience leading engineers as a manager or tech lead, with a genuine desire to grow the careers of others.
• Strong ERP product knowledge (Oracle Cloud ERP or comparable), including Finance modules such as R2R, P2P, AP, and AR.
• Strong proficiency in general-purpose languages (Java or Python), building microservices, APIs, and integrations from the ground up.
• Experience using AI in development to ship products from prototype to production (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG).
• Strong relational database and SQL proficiency.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence without authority.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex concepts for diverse audiences.
