Senior Software Engineer, GraphQL
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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 Community You Will Join:
Viaduct, a unified data access layer and platform, is a crucial part of Airbnb as it connects nearly all of Airbnb s online data.
The significance of Viaduct is evident as approximately 90% of Airbnb s online traffic and products flow through its infrastructure service.
It holds a central position within Airbnb s tech stack, forming a critical link between user-facing products and backend infrastructure.
This is achieved by offering a global schema & query system via a GraphQL interface.
The team s role doesn't end with maintaining and improving Viaduct; they also set best practices and next-gen architecture for Airbnb.
In doing so, they work closely with various infrastructure teams such as Build Infra, Service Platform, CI/CD, Reliability, Observability, Developer Experience, and more, alongside product engineers.
The Difference You Will Make:
Viaduct tenant developers currently lack the observability tools to easily monitor, introspect, and debug issues specific to their business logic within Viaduct.
You will help take observability and tooling to the next level for the developer experience of hundreds of engineers.
You will push the boundaries of Airbnb s infrastructure scale.
Improved observability has wide impact and scope by unlocking performance and cost-saving opportunities for Viaduct tenants as well as contributing to scaling the Viaduct framework team s operations.
You will help provide tools to improve critical Airbnb product surface areas business metrics such as latency and costs.
