Engineering Manager, Storage at Airbnb

This role is ideal for a seasoned technical leader with at least 3 years of management experience and a deep background in distributed systems. You should have a proven track record of managing infrastructure that supports high-scale transactional databases, particularly within Kubernetes and public cloud environments (AWS/GCP). The position offers a competitive salary range ($204k - $255k) plus equity and travel credits. While listed as "on-site" in the metadata, the description clarifies it is **US-Remote Eligible**, offering significant geographical flexibility. You will lead a high-impact team focused on "platformizing" database operations, moving away from manual toil toward automated, self-service infrastructure. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have managed engineering teams for 3+ years and have 6+ years of total software development experience. * Possess deep expertise in Kubernetes operators, node lifecycle orchestration, and cloud networking. * Enjoy "moving fast" with rigor, balancing open-source contributions with internal product reliability. * Are comfortable building three-year roadmaps and representing technical strategy to executive leadership.
