Software Engineer for Android

Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone or tablet.

We’re looking for product-aware engineers who are thoughtful, responsible and passionate individuals who appreciate user experience. We’re looking for someone who is not only well versed in Android development, but also has a strong understanding of good UX and is excited to learn about and contribute to the server side. We believe that great product people use lots of products, so if you’re an active user of Airbnb, we are listening. Not only is mobile quickly becoming the preferred means to book travel, but mobile uniquely enables our hosts to be responsive and connects our guests to their surroundings. Because of the unique form-factor of mobile, we put a particular emphasis on the user-experience design. Our apps have been featured in the app store, Google Play and at WWDC.

* We built a calendar management tool because keeping our systems synced with the ever-changing schedules of our hosts is critical. * We’ve internationalized the app into 18 languages. * Overhauled the UI of the app to become the company leader in the new standard of interaction paradigms.

* Experience shipping one or more Android apps, ideally currently available on Google Play. * Personal projects that show an aptitude for engineering and product sense. * Ability to work in areas outside of their usual comfort zone and get things done quickly. * Generalist Engineer experience.
