Senior Software Engineer, (Python, GenAI, MCP)

Airbnb · India

Join Airbnb’s Integrations & Application Engineering team to design, build, and maintain critical finance integrations and reporting systems. You’ll leverage GenAI and MCP technologies to enhance internal platforms, migrate from Oracle Cloud, and mentor junior engineers — all while driving innovation in AI-assisted automation across the company’s global infrastructure.

About the Role

The Integrations & Application Engineering team owns the integration and automation platforms that empower teams across the company to self-serve and automate solutions. This role focuses on building and maintaining finance integrations, developing in-house platforms, and applying GenAI to extend platform capabilities. You’ll partner with Finance and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into robust integrations, migrate systems from Oracle Cloud, mentor junior engineers, and explore cutting-edge GenAI tools like Claude Code. You’ll be part of a mission to make Airbnb’s infrastructure more intelligent, scalable, and accessible — with a culture that values ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence.
