Airbnb was founded in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests into their San Francisco home. From these humble beginnings, Airbnb has grown to include over 4 million Hosts, who have collectively welcomed more than 1 billion guest arrivals across nearly every country worldwide. Each day, Hosts provide unique stays and experiences, enabling guests to connect authentically with local communities.

Given the scale and global nature of Airbnb, the team has developed its own in-house payments platform to meet unique needs, continually expanding to include new payment methods, global licenses, compliance mechanisms, and innovative payment experiences for Hosts and guests alike.
The Payments Operational Tooling team is dedicated to building and maintaining web-based front-end tools and Java-powered back-end services.
