A Typical Day:
Build cutting edge cloud native infrastructure on top of the public cloud.
Deliver frameworks and platforms that are secure, efficient, mature and highly available that abstract away infrastructure complexity.
Investigate and adapt industry best practices to Airbnb’s unique environment.
Systematically improve availability by applying industry and distributed systems best practices.
Work with other talented and friendly infrastructure and infosec engineers to build the foundation for Airbnb’s technical growth over the next decade.
Your Expertise:
5-9+ years of relevant software development experience with a BS/Masters or 6+ years with a PhD. in a fast-paced, high-growth tech environment.
Expertise with a public cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their Security, Identity, & Compliance offerings (e.g. IAM, KMS).
Experience working with authentication and authorization protocols/frameworks (OpenID Connect, OAuth, LDAP etc.)
Passionate about cloud security risks management, secure by default configurations, and blast radius reduction.
Familiarity with container and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
Track record of working with infosec engineers to solve challenging problems creatively.
Strong ownership and experience building and operating high-scale, distributed systems across the full software lifecycle.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well within a team and across engineering teams.
Strong problem solver and have solid production debugging skills.
