The Community You Will Join 

Trust Platform Engineering

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 a Senior iOS Software Engineer on the Trust Platform team, your expertise will be pivotal in developing and evolving the friction framework used for mitigating fraud across the Airbnb iOS 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 SDUI.

  • Participate in all phases of software development including architecture/design, implementation and testing.
