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 Marketing Technology team’s vision is to drive long term sustainable growth for the Airbnb community. Our mission is to build

a best-in-class agentic system, and capabilities to support the growth of all Airbnb products, current and future. We achieve this

by delivering highly personalized and relevant content and product experiences to the Airbnb community, both on and off of the

Airbnb platform. The north star is full autonomy - where AI identifies opportunities, creates campaigns, personalizes experiences,

and optimizes outcomes with minimal human-on-the-loop intervention. We are progressing along a deliberate maturity curve: AI

assisted → agentic → autonomous, with human-in-the-loop controls at every stage to ensure brand safety, quality, and compliance.

The platform deeply integrates with the Airbnb product, understanding the customer journey and enabling differentiated customer

engagement experiences to drive product growth. The platform also powers digital marketing channels including landing pages,

email, push, SMS, and digital advertising, as well as the machine learning/AI and data platforms that feed into the management and

optimization of these channels.

You'll lead two closely partnered teams: the Segmentation Platform, which owns the audience infrastructure used across every

marketing surface at Airbnb, and the Insights Platform, which provides the observability and analytics layer that marketing teams

rely on to understand campaign performance and drive decisions. Both teams work hand-in-hand with a shared Product Manager and

collaborate deeply with Communications, Orchestration, Delivery, and Growth Data Platform teams.

The Difference You Will Make

As the Engineering Manager for Segmentation and Insights Platform, you will be the primary technical leader spanning two

high-impact platform teams. You'll set the technical direction, own the roadmap execution, and build the kind of team culture

where engineers grow and do the best work of their careers — including through deep, genuine adoption of AI-native engineering

practices.

The Segmentation Platform is in the middle of a major evolution — building a near real-time customer segmentation architecture,

on-the-fly targeting, new entity types, and deeper data infrastructure integrations. The Insights Platform is extending into

AI/ML-driven anomaly detection and trend analysis. Critically, both platforms are beginning to incorporate autonomous agent

pipelines that handle complex, multi-step workflows at scale — and you will be the leader who ensures these systems are built with

the rigor, reliability, and operational maturity that production-grade agentic systems demand.

Your leadership will directly determine how well these platforms scale to meet Airbnb's ambitions, how confidently partner teams

can depend on them, and how effectively this team leads Airbnb's broader shift toward AI-native engineering.

A Typical Day

Lead weekly planning, roadmap reviews, and cross-team syncs for Segmentation and Insights Platform, keeping delivery on track

and stakeholders well-informed

Run 1:1s with engineers, with intentional focus on career growth, technical skill development, and early identification of

blockers

Serve as the primary engineering DRI for cross-team dependencies — fielding requests from teams across Airbnb tech. and making

clear, reasoned prioritization calls

Partner with the Product Manager to sequence the roadmap
Drive technical strategy for the Insights Intelligence Engine — Airbnb's emerging AI/ML anomaly and trend detection system —

working across ML, Data Engineering, and Analytics Engineering disciplines

Oversee the design, delivery, and operational health of production agentic systems: autonomous pipelines, LLM-orchestrated

workflows, and multi-agent architectures running at Airbnb scale

Champion AI-native development practices across both teams — from AI-assisted coding and review workflows to the use of agents

in CI/CD, on-call response, and data quality monitoring

Own the health and operational maturity of both teams: on-call programs, incident retrospectives, SLO definitions, and runbook

quality

Represent both platforms in org-wide planning cycles and contribute to the broader Marketing Technology engineering strategy

Your Expertise

Required

9+ years of software engineering experience, with 4+ years in an engineering management role leading platform or infrastructure

teams

Demonstrated experience managing engineers across a range of seniority levels, including early-career engineers, with a track

record of meaningful career growth outcomes

Strong technical foundation in distributed data systems, backend infrastructure, or marketing/ad technology platforms — able to

engage credibly in architecture and design conversations

Experience owning cross-team platform relationships: managing inbound dependency requests, negotiating priorities, and

communicating commitments with confidence

Track record of delivering complex, multi-quarter technical roadmaps in fast-moving environments
Fluency in data-driven engineering practices: data pipelines, analytics infrastructure, observability, and operational

excellence

Preferred

Experience with audience segmentation, targeting systems, or marketing data infrastructure at scale
Familiarity with ML/AI-powered analytics systems or experience managing engineers working on applied ML workstreams
Hands-on familiarity with agent frameworks and orchestration tooling (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, Autogen, or similar) and

practical knowledge of where these systems break down in production

Experience managing teams that own on-call rotations and production services with external SLAs
Comfort navigating the intersection of engineering, data science, and analytics engineering disciplines within a single team
Experience actively integrating AI-assisted development practices into team workflows and advocating for their adoption

expect team members to be available during core collaboration hours in their time zone and to participate in occasional onsite

gatherings as the team and org schedule them, typically 2–4 times per year.

Our Commitment to Inclusion & Belonging

Airbnb is committed to working with the broadest talent pool possible. We believe diverse ideas foster innovation and engagement,

and allow us to attract creatively-led people, and to develop the best products, services and solutions. All qualified individuals

are encouraged to apply.

DEPT

United States•Posted: Jul 8•Deadline: Aug 16

WHY DEPT®? We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA. We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter. At DEPT®, you will find the freedom to explore, the space to collaborate, and the trust to make a real impact for our clients, for each other, and for the world we are helping to build. THE ROLE We are seeking a visionary and market-experienced Senior Architect, Experience Engineering & Platforms to join DEPT®'s growing Adobe practice in North America. In this executive-level role, you will serve as the most senior client-facing voice on large-scale digital platform transformations — defining the architectural direction for headless CMS implementations, composable experience ecosystems, and Adobe-native delivery infrastructure. You will own the intellectual agenda of the Experience Engineering & Platforms pillar: shaping methodology, building go-to-market positioning, and establishing DEPT® as the authoritative partner for enterprise organizations navigating the shift from monolithic CMS architectures to modern, performance-first stacks built on Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) Sites, Edge Delivery Services (EDS), Adobe Commerce, and Adobe CDN. At Level 4, you are not executing within a defined scope — you are defining the scope for engagements worth millions of dollars and shaping the conditions under which client teams will succeed over a three-to-five year horizon. Your clients are Global 2000 enterprises — retailers, financial services companies, media organizations, and B2B technology firms — who are hitting the ceiling of what their legacy platforms can deliver. They come to DEPT® because their existing AEM monolith cannot support the experimentation velocity their marketing team demands, because page performance is dragging down conversion rates in measurable ways, or because they need to scale content operations across dozens of markets without proportionally scaling headcount. In this role, you will produce the artifacts that define how they get from where they are to where they need to be: platform architecture assessments that expose technical debt and surface migration paths, multi-year transformation roadmaps that sequence investment against business outcomes, composable architecture blueprints that map AEM Sites and EDS to real editorial workflows, and Commerce integration strategies that connect Adobe Commerce to a headless front end without sacrificing personalization or analytics fidelity through Adobe Target and Adobe Analytics. You will present these deliverables to CMOs, CTOs, and CDOs — and you will be expected to defend every recommendation with the rigor of someone who has built and broken these systems firsthand. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Architect Platform Transformation Programs: Lead executive advisory engagements for enterprise clients migrating off monolithic CMS platforms, producing platform architecture assessments and composable architecture blueprints that define the target state across AEM Sites, Edge Delivery Services, Adobe CDN, and integrated commerce and analytics layers. Translate technical architecture decisions into business cases that resonate with C-suite sponsors. * Define Multi-Year Roadmaps: Develop phased transformation roadmaps that sequence AEM modernization, EDS adoption, and Commerce integration initiatives against measurable business outcomes — balancing technical feasibility, organizational change capacity, and investment horizons of three to five years. Ensure each phase delivers standalone value while building toward the full composable vision. * Shape Pillar Methodology and Thought Leadership: Author the frameworks, assessment tools, and repeatable playbooks that define how DEPT®'s Experience Engineering & Platforms practice goes to market — including headless CMS strategy templates, EDS implementation plans, performance optimization playbooks, and composable architecture decision guides. Publish and speak on these topics to establish DEPT® and yourself as category authorities. * Lead Pre-Sales and Strategic Account Development: Partner with DEPT® sales leadership to qualify, shape, and close strategic Adobe platform engagements, contributing architecture vision, scope definition, and executive presence to pursuit teams. Develop points of view for specific industries and use cases that open new client relationships and expand existing ones. * Develop the Pillar Team: Mentor and grow a team of strategists, architects, and practice specialists within the Experience Engineering & Platforms pillar — conducting structured coaching, defining career development paths, leading internal knowledge-sharing, and establishing the quality bar for client deliverables across the portfolio. WHAT YOU BRING * 12+ Years of Enterprise Platform Experience: Deep background leading digital platform strategy and architecture engagements for large enterprise organizations, with direct responsibility for scoping, shaping, and delivering multi-year transformation programs — not just contributing to them. Experience working in or alongside a global digital agency, systems integrator, or enterprise technology consultancy is strongly preferred. * Composable Architecture and Headless CMS Expertise: Demonstrated ability to architect and evaluate headless and composable experience platforms at enterprise scale — including content modeling for decoupled CMS deployments, API-first integration patterns, CDN strategy, and the organizational design implications of separating content authoring from front-end delivery. You have made these decisions in production environments with real stakes. * Adobe Product Fluency: Expert-level command of the Adobe Experience Cloud products that define this pillar. You can architect, evaluate, and advise on AEM Sites (both cloud-native AEM as a Cloud Service and on-premise modernization scenarios), Edge Delivery Services (EDS) including document-based authoring and performance optimization, Adobe Commerce (Magento) headless integration patterns, Adobe CDN configuration and performance strategy, Adobe Analytics implementation and data layer architecture, and Adobe Target for personalization and experimentation. At this level, fluency means you have defended these choices in front of CTOs and can articulate the tradeoffs — not just the feature lists. * Executive Stakeholder Management and Advisory Presence: Proven track record of building trusted advisor relationships with CMOs, CTOs, CDOs, and Executive VPs — facilitating difficult conversations about platform investment, organizational change, and technology risk without losing either rigor or relationship. You can command a room of skeptical enterprise executives and walk out with alignment. * Practice Building and Commercial Acumen: Experience developing intellectual capital, go-to-market assets, and repeatable delivery methodologies within a consulting or agency practice. You understand how a pillar generates revenue, how to position against competing approaches, and how to develop and retain the talent that executes on the strategy you define.
