About the job

Airbnb, founded in 2007, has revolutionized the way people travel by connecting over 5 million hosts with more than 2 billion guests worldwide. Our platform offers unique stays and experiences that foster genuine connections with communities around the globe.

The Role:

The Airbnb Payments team is dedicated to facilitating seamless monetary exchanges through user-friendly payment services, embodying our mission to 'belong anywhere.' We are constructing a premier payments platform capable of processing billions of dollars across 191 countries and 75 currencies through a complex network of payment partners. As we expand, we will be integrating new partners, licenses, compliance measures, and enhancing the payment experiences for both guests and hosts.

As a Senior Staff Engineer and Technical Lead within the Payments Compliance organization, you will oversee the technical strategy and architectural vision across a comprehensive Compliance engineering landscape, which includes Policy Enforcement, Identity, Screening, Auditing, and Compliance Experience. Your focus will be to ensure the scalability and cohesion of compliance systems while aligning them with the broader objectives of the company in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.

We seek a seasoned technical leader capable of bridging deep systems expertise with organizational influence. You will drive Compliance's strategic initiatives, defining component integration, identifying shared capabilities, and ensuring optimal use of platform investments made by partner teams. Your decisions will significantly impact Airbnb's compliance with obligations such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Know Your Customer (KYC), and sanctions screening, all while minimizing operational costs and enhancing customer experience.

This role extends beyond the Compliance team, requiring collaboration with various engineering teams and cross-functional stakeholders across Product, Content, Legal, and Design.
