Tech Lead Manager, Finance Integrations & Automation - BizTech

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

The Integrations & Application Engineering team owns the integration and automation platforms at Airbnb. We enable teams across the company to self-serve in connecting their systems and automating solutions, and we integrate Airbnb’s enterprise systems end-to-end. The team also builds and manages custom in-house solutions and the application infrastructure that supports them.

This is a hybrid IC and people-leadership role focused on Finance integrations and automations. As a Tech Lead Manager, you will lead and grow a team of engineers while operating hands-on at a senior IC level, setting technical direction, owning delivery, and writing and reviewing code yourself. We’re looking for someone with deep ERP product knowledge who builds integrations in general-purpose languages, takes ownership of systems and people, and is enthusiastic about applying AI, building tools and integrations with Claude Code that extend what the team can do.

A Typical Day

  • Lead the Finance and ERP integration practice: set direction, run initiatives in parallel, and own the systems and processes your team supports.
  • Balance management with hands-on work: unblock the team, review designs and code, and build complex integrations, backend services, APIs and MCPs yourself.
  • Partner with Finance, Procurement, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into integrations, automations, and reporting.
  • Coach and grow engineers and contractors through design reviews, architecture discussions, and career development.
  • Own the smooth operation of month-end financial integrations and reporting, proactively surfacing and fixing gaps.
  • Explore the evolving GenAI landscape, evaluate new models and techniques, and share the learnings.

Role & Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and developing careers, while personally contributing at a Staff IC level.
  • Own the architecture, delivery, and reliability of ERP and Finance integrations and microservices in Java / Python.
  • Migrate integrations from Oracle Cloud onto our in-house platform, and extend that platform so teams across Airbnb can self-serve.
  • Design and build AI-assisted automations and MCP integrations that extend internal platform capabilities.
  • Contribute to organizational priorities and to defining the team roadmap and strategy.
  • Uphold quality, reliability, and security through code reviews, testing, monitoring, and incident response.

Your Expertise

Required:

  • 10+ years of software engineering experience, including building and operating production systems and integrations.
  • Experience leading engineers as a manager or tech lead, with a genuine desire to grow the careers of others.
  • Strong ERP product knowledge (Oracle Cloud ERP or comparable), including Finance modules such as R2R, P2P, AP, and AR.
  • Strong proficiency in general-purpose languages (Java or Python), building microservices, APIs, and integrations from the ground up.
  • Experience using AI in development to ship products from prototype to production (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG).
  • Strong relational database and SQL proficiency.
  • Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally and influence without authority.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to distill complex concepts for diverse audiences.

Preferred:

  • Hands-on experience with Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) and OCI/PaaS, and Oracle reporting.
  • Experience building AI agents and MCPs, preferably using Claude.

 

Reasonable Accommodations: We are committed to providing reasonable accommodations throughout the recruitment process for applicants with disabilities. If you need assistance, or an accommodation, please let your recruiter know once you are contacted about a role.

A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to get money or personal information from candidates. A few things that will always be true for Airbnb’s hiring process: our open roles are posted on Airbnb’s Career’s Page at careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters correspond only from @airbnb.com or @ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing.  We’ll also never ask you to pay a fee, send money, deposit or cash a check, or purchase work-related equipment (such as a company laptop) during the interview process. We encourage candidates to remain vigilant of these recruiting scams and not share sensitive information if you do not believe an individual is actually affiliated with Airbnb.
