About the role
The Payments organization at Airbnb enables people anywhere in the world to frictionlessly exchange money with easy to use payments services. It is a core strategy to fulfill Airbnb's mission to belong anywhere. We are building a world-class payments platform that moves billions of dollars, in 191 countries, with 75+ currencies, through a complex ecosystem of payments partners. We build and maintain our own in-house global payments platform because no solution exists with the global reach needed. As the platform grows we'll be adding new payment partners, global licenses, compliance and regulation controls, and building new payment experiences for our guests and hosts.
Payments Processing within Payments, is the payment gateway and core platform of the Airbnb Payments ecosystem. We are the team that connects Airbnb to the outside world of payment processors for the execution of any payment anywhere reliably, accurately, conveniently, and cost-effectively.
Our platform integrates with 19 different Payments Service Providers and moves billions of dollars on an annual basis. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to build and lead the team that will be responsible for designing, architecting and maintaining Airbnb Payment Gateway systems. With our growing expansion of products we see Global and Local Payments methods playing a major role in conversion, approval rates and cost-effective drivers for Airbnb, and this role will help oversee expansion of this platform immediately and over the next several years
