About this role
Join Airbnb as a Lead Product Manager to enhance developer productivity by owning product areas and workflows that impact engineering efficiency. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive improvements and shape the product roadmap.
Description
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.
Responsibilities
- Establish product vision and northstar for your area, and connect it into the broader developer productivity strategy
- Own cross-cutting developer workflows end to end — mapping where they break across pillars like App & Cloud Infra, Reliability Engineering, and Developer Experience, and driving the changes that improve them
- Define how we measure developer productivity: build the metrics, instrumentation, and qualitative research that tell us whether engineers' lives are actually getting better
- Partner with Engineering, Product, TPM, and Data Science to understand goals and establish success criteria with clearly measurable objectives and key results
- Develop the product roadmap, and get alignment on prioritization and timelines to meet business goals
- Influence teams you don't own — build the case, bring the data, and get other groups to prioritize developer productivity work alongside their own roadmaps
- Develop a deep understanding of how Airbnb's engineers work day to day, and of the technical architecture underneath, to build and improve products that fit into real workflows rather than around them
- Execute efficiently to ship products and deliver impact for our business and users.
- Lead cross-functional groups to fulfill the team’s mission, acting as the system voice.
- Communicate concisely and influence outcomes at all levels of the organization, demonstrating strong executive presence.
Requirements
- 10+ years of product management experience building tools and platforms for technical users — developer tooling, infrastructure, or platform products
- Track record of improving developer or engineering productivity, with the measurements to prove it
- Experience defining and operationalizing metrics for hard-to-quantify outcomes — when quantitative metrics are needed and matter, and when qualitative metrics may or may not be more impactful
- Strong understanding of technical architecture for complex and highly scalable systems, and of modern AI-powered developer workflows: AI-assisted development, code review, CI/CD, build systems, testing, deployment
- Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes across organizational boundaries without direct authority — influencing roadmaps you don't own
- Ability to understand immediate and longer-term customer goals and needs, and build products that meet them
- Entrepreneurial drive, and demonstrated ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams to align on a vision and product strategy
- Ability to quickly absorb technical concepts and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical partners at every level of the organization
- Ability to prioritize and scope user requests and platform capabilities, balancing long-term vision against short-term pain points
- Previous experience as a software engineer, or working extremely closely with engineering teams, is a strong plus
- Familiarity with developer productivity research and frameworks (DORA, SPACE, DevEx) is a plus
- Storytelling skills that connect the problem you’re solving to a compelling vision, coupled with a willingness to dive into the details.
Conditions & Benefits
- Base pay range: $232,000 — $282,000 USD
- This role may also be eligible for bonus, equity, benefits, and Employee Travel Credits.
- Reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process for applicants with disabilities.
