Who you are:
You have extensive experience demonstrating the required skills below, and you have one or more sites that clearly illustrates your capabilities. You are responsible and thoughtful -- you will need to be just as hungry as us. You are also a generalist, meaning you are comfortable and eager to work on what is needed, whether it be back-end or front-end.
The advantages of working with us:
We're a small team running a quickly growing company. You will be joining us as our first employee, and you will grow with us as we transition into a global movement. AirBnB is getting lots of press, and you will become one of the faces of our company. We were recently featured in Time, Businessweek, CNN, NY Times, and TechCrunch. Our office is a fun, up-tempo environment. We keep our kitchen stocked, have a 360-degree view of San Francisco from our amazing roofdeck, and we like to frequent our local bar or Giant's ball game together after work.
About AirBnB:
AirBnB is the "eBay of space." We are a Y-Combinator-funded company in the South of Market district of San Francisco. Our online marketplace lets people and businesses rent out their extra space to travelers, by the night, in over 860 cities in 73 countries, giving them a more personal experience than hotels. The reputation-based system allows for user-reviews, verification, and online transactions, for which AirBnB takes a commission.
