Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.\nThe Community You Will Join:\nGuest & Host Technology builds the end-to-end experience that connects people around the world: from the first search to the moment a trip becomes a memory. Because that experience lives natively on iOS and Android, with no cross-platform framework in between, we're looking for engineers who move fluidly across both platforms to keep architecture, performance, and product quality coherent everywhere our guests and hosts show up.\nThe Difference You Will Make:\nWe're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can operate as a true dual-platform native engineer - someone with solid, current fluency in both iOS and Android. You'll own features end-to-end across both apps, and you'll be one of the people trusted to make architectural calls that need to hold up identically on Swift and Kotlin.\nYou'll write production code on both platforms, and you'll also be expected to think beyond any single feature: flagging where our two native codebases are drifting apart, where a shared contract (like our GraphQL client layer) needs to evolve, and helping less experienced engineers ramp into dual-platform work.\nA Typical Day: \nDesign and ship features across our iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) native codebases, often the same initiative, shipped in parallel on both platforms\nPartner with design and product to translate one product spec into two platform-idiomatic implementations, rather than porting one platform's UI onto the other\nUphold architecture, performance, and app-size standards that apply equally to both platforms\nWeigh in on shared client contracts (schema, logging, testing frameworks) consumed by both apps, and flag when a change would let the platforms drift apart\nHelp other engineers ramp into dual-platform work through pairing and code review\nParticipate in technical reviews and architecture discussions where your judgment is expected to span both platforms, not just one\nYour Expertise:\n6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with deep, current, hands-on expertise in both native iOS (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI) and native Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose), not legacy exposure to one platform and active work on the other\nA track record of independently shipping medium-to-large complexity features on either platform without ramp-up, and the ability to read, debug, and reason about the other platform's code even where you're less deep\nSolid opinions on mobile architecture, backed by experience keeping two independent native codebases coherent at scale\nComfort owning a feature end-to-end with real ambiguity, and identifying when a decision needs to be escalated versus made independently\nExperience partnering closely with design and product to translate ambiguous requirements into concrete, platform-appropriate implementations\nA pragmatic view on cross-platform tooling - you understand why fully native matters here, and you're not looking for a role where you can lean on React Native or Flutter instead of doing the harder, more durable work\nYour Location:\nThis position is US - Remote Eligible. The role may include occasional work at an Airbnb office or attendance at offsites, as agreed to with your manager. While the position is Remote Eligible, you must live in a state where Airbnb, Inc. has a registered entity. Click here for the up-to-date list of excluded states. This list is continuously evolving, so please check back with us if the state you live in is on the exclusion list. If your position is employed by another Airbnb entity, your recruiter will inform you what states you are eligible to work from.\nOur Commitment To Inclusion & Belonging:\nAirbnb is committed to working with the broadest talent pool possible. We believe diverse ideas foster innovation and engagement, and allow us to attract creatively-led people, and to develop the best products, services and solutions.

A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing. We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6808,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Vacation Rentals","Online Rental Platforms"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-05T20:17:19Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 217 · green card filings: 26","filings_12m":217,"filings_prev_12m":224,"green_card_filings_12m":26,"median_offered_wage_usd":192500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":146}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":51,"reasons":["conf:1","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":227000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/airbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/airbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T09:21:39Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14059,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":77},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=77"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fairbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fairbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fairbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/airbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fairbnb-senior-software-engineer-native-mobile"}]}
