[Hiring] Mobile Software Engineer @Airbnb

Role Description

The Quality Platform team is at the heart of Airbnb’s mission to deliver a seamless, high-quality experience for millions of hosts and guests. We don’t just find bugs — we build the systems that prevent them.

As a Mobile Software Engineer, you will be a key contributor to the development of our Quality Platform across both native mobile stacks. You will help build the foundation for how quality is engineered across Airbnb's iOS and Android ecosystems, developing tools and frameworks that enable our mobile platform to scale while keeping developers productive and confident, regardless of which platform they build on.

In this role, you will:

• Build AI-Driven Solutions: Contribute to AI-native agents that automate repetitive testing tasks and provide intelligent feedback to developers on both platforms.
• Deliver Scalable Infrastructure: Develop and maintain the high-scale platforms and testing environments used daily by the iOS and Android engineering organizations.
• Promote Engineering Craft: Implement best-in-class mobile patterns and modularity to improve testability and fault-tolerance across both native codebases.
• Contribute to Operational Excellence: Ensure our automated systems are performant and reliable, making data-driven decisions to optimize the CI/CD lifecycle for both platforms.

Qualifications

• Up to 4+ years of professional mobile development experience in a fast-paced, high-growth tech environment.
• Working knowledge of both Kotlin/Android SDK and Swift/iOS SDK, with experience using modern build tools (Gradle, Xcode).
• Demonstrated experience building or extending test automation frameworks (e.g., Espresso, Compose Test, XCUITest) and mobile infrastructure.
• A passion for building tools and SDKs that serve other engineers and improve the developer experience across platforms.
• An eagerness to learn and apply AI/LLMs to solve complex engineering and quality challenges.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate complex codebases and take ownership of features or components from implementation to deployment.
• Effective communication skills with the ability to collaborate across diverse technical and product teams.

Requirements

• Design and sustain foundational testing frameworks in Swift and Kotlin, emphasizing high performance and developer-centric reliability.
• Integrate LLM-powered solutions to drive autonomous test discovery and smart orchestration across our native mobile ecosystems.
• Partner with cross-functional mobile teams to eliminate bottlenecks and ensure robust quality is integrated into the earliest stages of development.
• Scale distributed testing systems to optimize the CI/CD lifecycle, effectively reducing build latency for both iOS and Android stacks.
• Work alongside Research and Data Science units to prototype next-generation tools that redefine software quality engineering.
• Participate in deep-dive code reviews and the Quality Guild to advocate for best-in-class mobile patterns across the organization.

Benefits

• Airbnb is committed to working with the broadest talent pool possible.
• We believe diverse ideas foster innovation and engagement.
• All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.
• We strive to provide a disability inclusive application and interview process.
