What the job involves
- Everyone at Airbnb thinks about trust, but our team obsesses over it daily
- The Trust team is responsible for protecting our community and platform from fraud while also ensuring our hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards
- Trust Platform is responsible for foundational systems that power the detection and mitigation of fraud at scale across Airbnb, such as the rules engine, friction framework, and vendor API gateway, and supports one of the highest throughput systems across the company
- The team works closely with the Trust defense teams to tackle the changing landscape of fraud attacks, and build platform features to enable Trust product teams to quickly build frictions, rules, and enforcement tools for agents
- As a Senior iOS Software Engineer on the Trust Platform team, your expertise will be pivotal in developing and evolving the friction framework used for mitigating fraud across the Airbnb iOS application
- You will work closely with a team of cross-platform engineers with collective expertise in web, native, and backend development to define and shape the future of the friction framework with initiatives such as Airlock SDUI
- The friction framework is used by Airbnb engineering teams to build frictions, and is pivotal in protecting our community and platform from fraud while also ensuring our millions of hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards
- Work closely with Android and Web engineers on the team to develop foundational, cross platform solutions such as the friction framework
- Contribute across the team’s surface areas to directly move our core metrics (developer experience, developer velocity, debuggability, performance, and reliability) while reducing cost and providing new functionality to help make our team’s vision, and that of our broader org, a reality

- Participate in all phases of software development including architecture/design, implementation and testing
- Support teammates in enabling code quality, operational excellence, and shared learning
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
When Airbnb was originally founded, the product helped customers book air mattresses on people's apartment floors. Since then, Airbnb has had over a billion customers hosted through its platform. With more than 4 million registered hosts worldwide, it has grown into a major player in the hospitality sector.
Airbnb has been successful in disrupting the traditional holiday lettings sector. Before it existed accommodation was limited to hotels and bed and breakfasts, but Airbnb has mainstreamed the idea of renting out spare rooms or even entire homes. It has created a new sector of hosts purchasing properties to rent out on the platform and provides a level of flexibility and a range of offerings not previously possible for travelers.
Perhaps a victim of its own success, by 2022 supply of Airbnb-listed properties began to outstrip demand in some markets, as hosts overestimated the appetite for domestic travel. However, the company is still posting strong financials and has unveiled new tools to support its hosts in a tougher rental market. With a healthy bottom line and a huge user base, Airbnb is very likely to overcome the current market turbulence and continue its growth.
