The opportunity to explore different aspects of Android development with the support of a collaborative community makes Airbnb a great place to work." Within my first few months, I contributed to a cross-team project now used by millions of people around the world. Within my first few weeks, I deepened my own skills in accessibility, internationalization, and building custom components. There are lots of opportunities to go broad or deep with the aspects of Android development you want to spend time on. The Android community here is full of knowledgeable and passionate people that are more than willing to use their time and expertise to help one another. Working at Airbnb has been an amazing learning experience.
I joined the HotelTonight team as an Android Engineer, and our full team became part of Airbnb in 2019. I continued tinkering with the Android SDK and built personal applications to continue to develop my skills.

"During college I started taking computer science classes as an extension of my Digital and Electronic Media Studies major. If you are an engineer with an entrepreneurial mindset, attention to detail, and empathy for end-users, you will thrive here!" The iOS community at Airbnb is open-minded and supportive, and I have met many talented kindred spirits along the way. The best part about working at Airbnb is being able to propose a solution to a problem, collaborate with multiple stakeholders, and implement it with long-term goals in mind. Initially I joined a Homes Guest team, revamped user registration flow, and later switched to an Experiences Host team to improve iOS experience for hosts who need to manage their business on the go.
At the time I just started using Airbnb product, and I was drawn to its aesthetics and potential as a marketplace platform. I transitioned from web to iOS after completing a bootcamp program by CodePath in 2014 and joined Airbnb as an iOS engineer in 2017. After studying Computer Science at Cornell University, I worked for various companies as a web developer in New York City before moving to the Bay Area. It was mostly tinkering with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to publish a personal website, and it felt empowering to connect with people around the world over the internet. "I started getting into computers when I was in middle school.
