Context, not a finding about this posting: of this employer's 3 green-card filings in this occupation, 100% were for a worker who already held the job.
Green-card follow-through: 80%
Of 5 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 1 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 452 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.
Files H-1B transfers
79 transfer filings in the last year, covering 79 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 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.
- We make it possible to launch and operate insurance products across global markets, and to learn quickly what increases the number of Hosts and guests who are protected.
Responsibilities
- Design the future-state architecture that lets us expand AirCover to new regions and products without rebuilding for each market, balancing short-term launch needs against long-term technical quality.
- Lead the design of an experimentation framework for insurance offers, pricing and placement, with trustworthy measurement of attach rate and downstream outcomes.
- Lead engineers inside and outside your team in building these solutions, and be the technical lead and owner of significant scope through ambiguity.
- Engage early with product managers, designers, data scientists and legal partners to shape requirements and steer teams toward the most efficient path to our goals.
- Raise the bar for technical quality from design, through code review, to production operations.
- Mentor engineers, and be a player/coach who helps build the team and drives collaboration across multiple teams.
- Write and review designs and code for high-availability, distributed backend services.
- Partner with Product, Data Science, Data Engineering, Legal and platform teams to drive engineering decisions and influence outcomes.
Requirements
- 9+ years of relevant software development experience in a fast-paced tech environment (or 7+ with an advanced degree).
- Experience with A/B testing and experimentation systems, and with using data to improve conversion or attach rates.
- Proficiency designing and operating high-performance systems with reliable monitoring and logging, and working knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
Compensation
- $212,000 - $265,000 USD
- We'll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process.
Benefits
- Analyze data to find gaps in conversion and coverage, and turn insights into product and platform changes.
