About the role

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 is a vision- and mission-driven company. Our Product Managers embody this culture and mindset. They imagine the ideal end state for our community (guests and hosts) and work backward from it, challenging current assumptions. They champion winning strategies, leverage metrics to track progress, and partner with talented cross-functional teammates (engineering, design, data science, and more). Highly hands-on, they are never afraid to roll up their sleeves to deliver the right outcome for our community. If you’re excited to help us create a world where anyone can belong anywhere, we’d love to meet you. The Difference You Will Make As a Lead Product Manager for Developer Productivity, you will own the product areas developers rely on, and you will own something harder: the end-to-end workflows that determine how productive our engineers actually are. Those workflows cross organizational boundaries — a single developer journey can touch other parts of the infrastructure, reliability, developer experience, and security. Your job is to understand the end-to-end developer journey, find where it breaks, and drive the work to fix it whether or not the fix lives in your teams. You will define what developer productivity means at Airbnb, instrument it, and be accountable for moving it. In collaboration with business stakeholders, product marketing, and technical program managers, you will help shape the roadmap for these products, with an emphasis on bringing together disparate offerings into a cohesive infrastructure roadmap.This will include the creation and ownership of Product Requirements Documents (PRDs) and Business Requirements Documents (BRDs) to inform technical decisions. You will also partner with engineers, designers, data scientists, and field-operations teams to scale our solutions across existing and emerging business segments, ensuring a cohesive system view.
