# Staff Backend Engineer - Ads Platform at Airbnb

Airbnb's Ads Platform team is seeking a Staff Backend Engineer to lead the technical vision and execution of an AI-powered growth engine managing paid marketing campaigns across Google, Meta, and beyond. You'll architect and build autonomous systems handling the complete campaign lifecycle—from creative generation and bid optimization to audience management—while maintaining brand safety and human oversight. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, marketing, and AI, requiring close collaboration with product, design, and data platform teams to translate growth objectives into scalable platform capabilities.

You bring 9+ years of hands-on software engineering experience with proven technical leadership credentials, having mentored teams and shaped engineering strategy at scale. A background in computer science or equivalent is expected, along with a genuine passion for system quality, availability, and efficiency. This role requires strong cross-functional communication skills and the ability to drive alignment across departments; bonus points if you have direct experience building or working with paid advertising platforms and understand how the ecosystem operates beyond just the technical surface.

The position is remote-eligible across the United States, though you must be located in a state where Airbnb maintains a registered entity. This is a full-time role that may occasionally involve in-office work or team offsites as arranged with your manager.
