<div class="content-intro"><p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></p></div><h3><strong>About the Team</strong></h3> <p>The Talent Systems team within BizTech is the trusted technology partner to Employee Experience, Recruiting, Payroll, Procurement, Legal, and Privacy teams across Airbnb’s global operations. Driven by the philosophy of “High Tech, Human Touch,” we design and implement technology that meets both business objectives and employee needs: building robust frameworks that support the full employee journey, delivering AI-enabled self-service tools, and playing a key role in payroll management and benefits enrollment.</p> <p>We own and operate a portfolio of 300+ production integrations and custom applications spanning payroll processors, benefits carriers, identity providers, compliance vendors, and internal platforms, with Workday at the center. We are also building the agentic layer on top of that portfolio: an Airbnb-owned Workday MCP server and AI assistant plugins that let employees and managers act on HR data directly from the tools they already use. You will partner closely with our Systems Architect, HR Centers of Excellence, IT Security, Finance, and external vendors to deliver enterprise-grade integrations and AI-enabled tooling that power Airbnb’s global HR technology ecosystem.</p> <h3><strong>The Difference You Will Make</strong></h3> <p>As a Staff Workday Integration Engineer, you are the technical authority for the integration initiatives that BizTech and Airbnb depend on. You will define our integration strategy and technical roadmap, set the architectural standards other engineers build against, and own the engineering of the Workday MCP and agentic integrations that are reshaping how employees interact with HR processes.</p> <p>This is a hands-on builder role. You will personally write integration logic, own production reliability, and make the architectural decisions that keep HR data flowing correctly across our global employee population. You will drive touchless automation, reduce manual intervention, and ensure compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Your work directly impacts how thousands of Airbnb employees experience their payroll, benefits, time tracking, and HR processes.</p> <p>You work alongside a Systems Architect who owns Talent Systems business process architecture, functional design, and the capability roadmap.
