# Staff Software Engineer, Passport & Commerce (Backend) at Airbnb

Airbnb seeks a Staff Software Engineer to architect the backend systems powering its Passport & Commerce platform, a newly formed organization handling identity, accounts, and commerce foundations across the global community. You'll design and scale core services that manage account state, eligibility, and entitlements for millions of guests and hosts, ensuring reliability, data integrity, and extensibility as new programs and partner integrations launch. The role involves close collaboration with teams spanning Payments, Wallet, Identity & Privacy, Profile & Community, and product partners to translate concepts into scalable technical designs and drive cross-team architecture decisions.

This position suits a technical leader with 9+ years building distributed backend systems, ideally with experience in financial transactions or stateful account data systems. You'll mentor senior engineers, set technical direction through design reviews, and drive adoption of your platform across Airbnb teams. Success means delivering a platform that supports rapid feature launches, maintains high uptime and correctness, and scales seamlessly—all while helping define scope and roadmap on a newly formed team.

The role is US-based and remote-eligible, though you'll need to reside in a state where Airbnb maintains a registered entity. The position may involve occasional office visits or team offsites as arranged with your manager.
