The Community You Will Join:
- The Quality Engineering team helps Airbnb build high-quality software efficiently. We enable Airbnb engineers to build highly testable systems. We own and continuously improve Airbnb’s test cases, automation coverage, test automation tools, environments, frameworks. We navigate Airbnb’s massive codebase identifying weak spots, and help design and implement testable fault-tolerant systems.
The Difference You Will Make:

- As a Senior Android Engineer, you will help us meet this challenge by helping develop and maintain our automation coverage, test tools/environments/frameworks, writing and testing product/system code, participating in design reviews to architect testable systems, and guiding designs and code to improve its modularity and testability.
- You are eager to understand complex systems top to bottom and thrive working across technologies and codebases. In addition, you excel at working through ambiguity, concept validation, and implementing best-in-class solutions.
A Typical Day:
- Build, maintain, and support the quality of our product workflows by developing and executing automated tests, collaborating closely with product engineering teams to ensure robust test coverage for new features and releases, and actively participating in the continuous improvement of testing processes.
- Build, maintain and support our platforms – testing infrastructure, applications, envi
