Senior Software Engineer, Native Mobile
Airbnb · Remote, USA
About this role
**Senior Software Engineer, Native Mobile** **About the team** Guest & Host Technology builds the end-to-end experience that connects people around the world—from the first search to the moment a trip becomes a memory. Because this experience lives natively on iOS and Android (with no cross-platform framework in between), we’re looking for engineers who can operate fluidly across both platforms to keep architecture, performance, and product quality coherent everywhere our guests and hosts show up. **The difference you will make** You’ll operate as a true dual-platform native engineer with current, hands-on fluency in both iOS and Android. You’ll own features end-to-end across both apps and help make architectural calls that hold up identically on Swift and Kotlin. You’ll write production code on both platforms, and you’ll also look beyond any single feature—flagging where the two native codebases are drifting apart, evolving shared contracts (e.g., the GraphQL client layer), and helping less experienced engineers ramp into dual-platform work. **A typical day** - Design and ship features across iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) native codebases—often the same initiative shipped in parallel - Partner with design and product to translate one product spec into two platform-idiomatic implementations - Uphold architecture, performance, and app-size standards across both platforms - Weigh in on shared client contracts (schema, logging, testing frameworks) and flag when changes would cause drift - Help other engineers ramp into dual-platform work through pairing and code review - Participate in technical reviews and architecture discussions spanning both platforms **Your expertise** - 6+ years of professional software engineering experience with deep, current, hands-on expertise in both: - iOS (Swift, UIKit/SwiftUI) - Android (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) - Proven ability to independently ship medium-to-large complexity features on either platform without ramp-up, and to read/debug/reason about the other platform’s code - Strong opinions on mobile architecture, including experience keeping two independent native codebases coherent at scale - Ability to own a feature end-to-end with real ambiguity, and know when to escalate vs. decide independently - Experience partnering with design and product to turn ambiguous requirements into concrete, platform-appropriate implementations - A pragmatic view on cross-platform tooling—you understand why fully native matters here and you’re not looking to rely on React Native or Flutter **Location** US - Remote Eligible. The role may include occasional work at an Airbnb office or attendance at offsites (as agreed with your manager). While remote eligible, you must live in a state where Airbnb, Inc. has a registered entity. **Inclusion & belonging** Airbnb is committed to working with the broadest talent pool possible and encourages all qualified individuals to apply. They also strive to provide a disability-inclusive application and interview process. **Equal Employment Opportunity** Airbnb is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. **Pay range (base)** $196,000 — $227,000 USD **Note on recruiting scams** Airbnb roles are posted on Airbnb’s Careers Page (careers.airbnb.com). Recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com and will not ask for sensitive personal or payment information during the interview process.
