Manager, Engineering, Dev AI

This a Full Remote job, the offer is available from: United States

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 Difference You Will Make:

Our mission is to make every Airbnb engineer's day better by building world-class developer infrastructure that removes friction and provides the tools to unlock their best work. The Dev AI team specifically builds the foundational AI tooling and infrastructure that powers developer productivity across the entire software development lifecycle, also providing the building blocks for teams across the company to quickly and simply create their own domain-specific AI tools. We currently serve as both a platform team and an internal AI consultancy for partner teams building their own internally-facing AI-powered solutions.

In this role, you will help to shape and execute the technical direction of the team's infrastructure and products. You'll work across a range of exciting problem spaces, from agentic coding tools and asynchronous AI workflow platforms, to SDKs for rapid internal AI app development and AI-assisted code migration. At Airbnb, you won't just build AI tools; your work will shape how individuals across the company work every day. The tools you create will directly accelerate the pace of innovation across our entire product surface.

We're a collaborative, low-ego, and highly-visible team that values experimentation, learning, and shipping. We celebrate what works and learn quickly from what doesn't. Given the rapid evolution of AI, we strive to operate with startup-like agility, iterating swiftly to evaluate and incorporate the most recent AI technologies into our developer tooling. If you enjoy building, collaborating across teams, thrive when given high autonomy, and are motivated to make the lives of other developers easier and more enjoyable, we’d love to hear from you.

A Typical Day: 

  • Help shape and drive our AI for Developers strategy, partnering with Staff and Sr. Staff engineers to assist them in aligning architecture trade-offs and product direction
  • Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI tooling landscape, and help the team balance innovation with incremental, measurable developer impact
  • Serve as a champion, expert, coach, and consultant to empower teams and leaders across the company to adopt and leverage new AI capabilities in their day to day workflows
  • Foster relationships with partner teams and stakeholders, as well as crafting working agreements
  • Coach and mentor the team with empathy to do their best work while growing in their roles & responsibilities
  • Contribute to the broader organization’s culture and processes (with a “first team” mentality)

Your Expertise:

  • 2+ years of experience as a full-time manager
  • Experience supporting and coaching Staff+ (ideally multiple) and Senior engineers 
  • Experience managing a remote/distributed team
  • Prior experience building developer infrastructure, tooling, or platforms, ideally at scale and with tools, frameworks, or systems commonly used in the industry
  • Experience applying AI technologies to real-world software development challenges
  • A track record of quickly ramping up in new domains, technologies, or languages — and a genuine excitement for continuous learning
  • Demonstrated success partnering cross-functionally, with excellent written and verbal communication skills
