Big challenges. Beautiful solutions.

Airbnb builds technologies that bring people together in the real world - which is often inspiring, sometimes daunting, but ideally a life-changing experience. With 30 million guests all time (and just 20 million in 2014 alone), we're constantly tackling challenges in search algorithms, payments, fraud prevention, infrastructure and growth — all while maintaining a beautiful user experience. We want to build solutions to these problems that are scalable, performant, and elegant, and we're looking for talented people to help us do just that.
