Senior Android Engineer, Trust Platform
Airbnb
Senior Android Engineer, Trust Platform
Job Description
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 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. The Community You Will Join: Everyone at Airbnb thinks about trust, but our team obsesses over it daily. The Trust team is responsible for protecting our community and platform from fraud while also ensuring our hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards. Trust Platform is responsible for foundational systems that power the detection and mitigation of fraud at scale across Airbnb, such as the rules engine, friction framework, and vendor API gateway, and supports one of the highest throughput systems across the company. The team works closely with the Trust defense teams to tackle the changing landscape of fraud attacks, and build platform features to enable Trust product teams to quickly build frictions, rules, and enforcement tools for agents. The Difference You Will Make: As an Android Software Engineer, your expertise will be pivotal in developing and evolving the trust and safety defenses on the Android application. You will work closely with a team of cross-platform engineers with collective expertise in web, native, and backend development to define and shape the future of the friction framework with initiatives such as Airlock. The friction framework is used by Airbnb engineering teams to build frictions, and is pivotal in protecting our community and platform from fraud while also ensuring our millions of hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards.
