Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.

The Community You Will Join:

Our team builds and operates the technology that powers AirCover — Airbnb's flagship protection program for Hosts and Guests. We own the end-to-end claims lifecycle: from the moment a Host or Guest files a claim, through intake and triage, all the way to adjudication and resolution. Our systems are designed to deliver fair, timely outcomes at scale, processing thousands of claims across the world every day.

We sit at the intersection of trust, payments, and customer experience. The tools we build directly shape how Hosts and Guests feel about Airbnb in their most vulnerable moments — when something has gone wrong and they need help. That makes reliability, accuracy, and empathy core engineering values for our team, not just product principles.

As part of the Aircover Engineering team, you'll work alongside engineers, product managers, designers, data scientists, and operations experts who are deeply committed to getting claims right. Whether that means streamlining the agent workflows that power resolution, improving the integrations that connect our claims platform to Airbnb's broader payments and infrastructure, or embedding AI-driven intelligence to surface the right information at the right moment — every contribution has a direct impact on the Hosts and Guests who trust Airbnb to have their back.

The Difference You Will Make:

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Systems Engineer who is passionate about building tools that make a real difference. You will play a significant role in shaping the technical vision and delivering a solution that is flexible, efficient, and scales with the needs of the business. Each individual brings their own unique skill set, experiences, thought leadership, and technical expertise to solve these challenges for Airbnb.

In this role, you will contribute meaningfully to an impactful platform that empowers our global support agents and upholds Airbnb's commitment to protecting its community — every stay, every claim, every resolution. This role presents an exciting opportunity to create a unique and impactful platform that addresses complex business challenges. Every engineer on this team brings their own unique perspective, technical expertise, and problem-solving approach — and your work on the tooling will have a direct, measurable effect on agent efficiency, claim resolution quality, and the overall AirCover experience. You will leverage AI tools throughout your development workflow — from accelerating design and prototyping to generating and reviewing code — so you can move faster, go deeper, and spend more time solving the problems that matter.
