  • Implement robust offline and online feature building processes to enable faster production of ML products

  • Architect and build ML infra and optimize for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness

  • Mentor and develop engineers on the team, while also contributing to and influencing the broader data engineering community at Airbnb

Your Expertise:

  • 9+ years of relevant industry experience with a Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in CS/EE, or equivalent experience, or 6+ years of experience with a PhD

  • Strong CS fundamentals, and knowledge of architecture and common design patterns 

  • You’re passionate about being in a product-focused environment where everyone cares deeply about customer impact

  • You have experience of running data processing pipelines in production using distributed data processing frameworks like Apache Spark or Flink

  • Experience collaborating with client, backend, ml, analytics teams, product and business partners
