Want to join a promising early stage startup that is growing rapidly and make a big impact?
Joining Twitter as employee #301 not early enough for you?
Come join our engineering team at Airbnb. We're 6 engineers, you can be engineer #7.
If you're interested in a front-end role, you can be front-end engineer #2!
We're building an engineering team that can produce what teams 10 times our size can do. We love what we're building. We talk about product daily, how we can enrich the experience of our users further. We love working on challenging problems and working with smart engineers that can help us grow individually too. Most of all, we value engineering.
Check out some of the challenges we're working on: http://blog.airbnb.com/hard-problems-big-opportunity http://blog.airbnb.com/hard-problems-big-opportunity
Email me at barry@airbnb.com if you'd like to chat and hear more.
- hugh3 16y agoThis is one of the best-written job ads I've read in a long time. Others take note! Much better than that four-page essay posted the other day about how you should play Halo on Legendary Mode, get lots of speeding tickets, and have eight or nine other fairly arbitrary personal qualities, in order to be cool enough to work at Random Dental Software Company.
- r00k 16y agoWhy does the Customer Service Engineer require a college degree when the Backend Engineer does not?
- bkwok 16y agoThe requirements between most of the engineering roles do not differ that much. A college degree isn't required actually. For engineering, we want somebody that has demonstrated an understanding of CS fundamentals which can be shown through their work at other startups/companies or through their college degree. We've interviewed engineers that do not have a college degree and have actually outperformed others that did possess a college degree. We'll rectify the requirements to reflect this accordingly. Thanks for pointing this out.

- bkwok 16y agoA work permit for the US is not necessary. We recently sponsored an engineer who is currently working with us!
