Careers Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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:
Airbnb is seeking Engineering Apprentices for our 2025 Connect Apprenticeship Program from April 21, 2025 - October 31, 2025.
Engineering at Airbnb is a diverse and dynamic field, with teams working on various aspects of the platform. The engineering department is divided into several teams, each focusing on different areas such as Payments, Relevance and Personalization, and Airbnb.org. Engineering technology that brings people together in the real world is both inspiring and daunting. We're tackling challenges in search relevance, payments, fraud prevention, discrimination, and growth all while maintaining a beautiful experience. We love to contribute to the community, from our work on testing React components to our new Android framework.

The difference you will make:
The Connect Apprenticeship Program is for you if you have a non-traditional technical background (self-taught, bootcamp graduate, or associate degree graduate) and are ready to start your career as a software engineer.

During the second half of the program, you’ll be matched to an engineering team where you’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on current projects. Throughout the program you will be supported by mentors and teammates as you work on your technical and career goals.
Apprentices will be evaluated for a full-time Associate Engineer position at Airbnb at the end of the program, starting as early as November.
