Airbnb Senior iOS Engineer on Airbnb’s Passport & Commerce team builds iOS experiences for millions of users. Owns complex features end-to-end and collaborates closely with backend, Android, and design teams.
Responsibilities
Passport & Commerce builds the trusted account and commerce foundation that lets anyone, anywhere, become part of the Airbnb community — from their first sign-up, through the profile and connections they build, to every booking, benefit, and business transaction along the way.
We're a newly formed org within Guest & Host that brings together identity and commerce foundations under one roof. Our mission is to move Airbnb beyond the transaction — building a world where accounts create trust, value sticks, and the benefits our community earns travel with them, and their businesses, wherever they go.
You'll work closely with Payments and Wallet engineering, Identity & Privacy, Profile & Community, and Guest & Host product, design, and data science partners as we stand up this team's roadmap and technical foundations.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the iOS team within Passport & Commerce, you will build the iOS experiences that bring various account features to life for millions of guests and hosts. You'll own complex features end-to-end, from technical design through launch, working closely with your backend, Android, and design counterparts.
Success in this role looks like shipping reliable, performant iOS experiences that reach parity with our Android and web surfaces, establishing patterns other engineers build on as the iOS presence for this team grows, and becoming a trusted technical voice for iOS within Passport & Commerce.
