Engineering Manager, Storage SRE

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. The Community You Will Join: Airbnb's Storage SRE team owns the "how do you reliably run and operate databases at scale" problem. The team is at the heart of Airbnb's online data systems, building tooling, workflows, and automation to ensure mission-critical data services are reliable, secure, and performant. You will be joining a team that operates at genuine internet scale and has direct influence on the infrastructure decisions that power a global marketplace. The team has deep operational ownership of Airbnb's primary relational database fleet, covering the full lifecycle from provisioning and capacity planning to schema management, backup and recovery, disaster recovery, and client integration best practices. The team also improves the developer experience for engineers working with transactional data stores at scale, enabling engineers across Airbnb to work with high-traffic storage systems reliably and efficiently. Looking ahead, the team is actively expanding its tooling and operational model to support a new class of distributed database technology, partnering closely with storage infrastructure and platform teams to enable resilient adoption across Airbnb.
