Staff Software Engineer, Secure Development Engineering

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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.

  • Collaborate with product and infrastructure engineers to build performant, developer-friendly solutions that build security into developer tools, libraries, and frameworks.
  • Lead secure development strategies, tooling, and product-specific security features with engineering teams to detect and prevent diverse security issues.
  • Architect and build robust automation frameworks to validate deployed software against security requirements.

Your Expertise:

  • Extensive experience in designing, implementing, and maintaining secure software systems
  • Thorough understanding of secure development methodologies and best practices
  • Experience collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams and contributing to open-source tools
  • Experience with static or dynamic analysis
  • Experience building secure-by-default libraries or frameworks
  • Experience with mobile or web application security is a plus
  • Experience building developer tools and infrastructure is a plus

How We'll Take Care of You:

Our job titles may span more than one career level. The actual base pay is dependent upon many factors, such as: training, transferable skills, work experience, business needs and market demands. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. This role may also be eligible for bonus, equity, benefits, and Employee Travel Credits.
