Operations Engineer, Biztech

Airbnb Airbnb · Consumer · United States · Software Engineering

Operations Engineer role focused on applying AI, specifically LLMs and agentic workflows, to automate and improve BizTech's operational health, including ticket resolution, incident response, and observability. The role involves managing tickets, incident response, building monitoring dashboards, and writing code for automation, with a strong emphasis on AI-driven insights and self-healing systems.

What you'd actually do

  1. Manage the ticket queue prioritizing and resolving requests while identifying recurring categories to automate or deflect
  2. Participate in a rotating on-call and incident response schedule, including weekends, troubleshooting and documenting issues in real time
  3. Build and maintain monitoring dashboards (Tableau, Superset, Grafana) that track service health, availability, and data quality, flagging gaps as they emerge
  4. Use AI-assisted tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) to speed up triage, root-cause analysis, scripting, and documentation — while knowing when a problem needs hands-on judgment instead
  5. Write and maintain code in general-purpose languages (Python, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, Bash) to automate operational workflows
