Senior Software Engineer, Dev Tools

The Community You Will Join:

Dev Tools’ mission is to help Airbnb engineers and AI agents build, validate, review, and ship high-quality software quickly, reliably, and safely.

AI-assisted development is rapidly increasing the speed, volume, and concurrency of software delivery. Our team is building the infrastructure needed to support that growth - from cloud development environments and agent execution platforms to source control, code review, validation, and polyglot monorepo tooling.

The Difference You Will Make:

As a senior engineer on Dev Tools, you will design, build, and operate foundational systems used across Airbnb engineering. You will work on technically challenging infrastructure problems involving distributed systems, Kubernetes, developer workflows, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency, while partnering closely with teams across Developer Platform, DevAI, CI/CD, Cloud Infrastructure, and Security. You won't just build - you'll shape the technical direction and set the bar for craft on a small, high-impact team.

Experience in one or more of the following areas is especially valuable:

• Developer environments, remote development platforms, or sandboxed workload execution
• Infrastructure for AI agents or asynchronous compute workloads
• CI/CD, integration testing, build systems, or pre-submit validation
• Git, GitHub Enterprise, source-control infrastructure, or large-scale repository hosting
• Code-review systems, policy enforcement, code ownership, or automated review tooling
• Kubernetes operators, workload scheduling, autoscaling, resource isolation, or capacity management
• Bazel, monorepo tooling, dependency management, or polyglot build infrastructure
• Platform APIs, control planes, worker pools, caching systems, or distributed queues
• Authentication, authorization, secrets management, or secure workload execution
• Infrastructure cost optimization and capacity planning
