Senior Software Engineer (Quality), Payments at Airbnb

This role is designed for a seasoned Quality Engineer with 6+ years of experience who is comfortable bridging the gap between automation testing and core software engineering. You should have deep expertise in building automation frameworks from scratch, particularly using Selenium, and a strong command of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). Since this team manages global money movement, a background in fintech or high-scale platform engineering is a significant plus. Operating out of the Bangalore hub, you will be part of a high-impact team that handles billions of dollars across 191 countries. This is an opportunity to work on a mission-critical "in-house" payments platform rather than third-party integrations. You’ll collaborate closely with U.S.-based engineering teams, offering high visibility and the chance to influence the testability and architecture of complex global systems. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have mastered at least two languages, such as Java, TypeScript, or Python, and can write production-level code. * Are an expert in CI/CD integration using tools like Buildkite or Jenkins to automate release cycles. * Enjoy "breaking" things to make them better and have a proven track record of architecting testable systems for ambiguous, large-scale problems.
