The Data Movement and Transformation team is part of Airbnb’s Data Infrastructure group, which builds and operates the foundational platforms that power data across Airbnb. Our team focuses on providing a declarative, scalable, and reliable platform for defining and operating data movement and transformation pipelines across multiple storage systems. This platform enables teams across Airbnb to safely move, transform, and materialize data that powers critical product experiences and operational workflows. At the center of this effort is Airbus, Airbnb’s internal platform for managing large-scale data movement pipelines across databases and data infrastructure. Airbus enables teams to declaratively define pipelines while the platform automatically handles provisioning, orchestration, reliability, and schema evolution. With systems operating globally and supporting a wide range of use cases, scalability, reliability, efficiency, usability, and long-term platform sustainability are core to our mission.
