Tech Lead Manager, Finance Integrations & Automation - BizTech

The Community You Will Join

The Integrations & Application Engineering team owns the integration and automation platforms at Airbnb. We enable teams across the company to self-serve in connecting their systems and automating solutions, and we integrate Airbnb’s enterprise systems end-to-end. The team also builds and manages custom in-house solutions and the application infrastructure that supports them.

This is a hybrid IC and people-leadership role focused on Finance integrations and automations. As a Tech Lead Manager, you will lead and grow a team of engineers while operating hands-on at a senior IC level, setting technical direction, owning delivery, and writing and reviewing code yourself. We’re looking for someone with deep ERP product knowledge who builds integrations in general-purpose languages, takes ownership of systems and people, and is enthusiastic about applying AI, building tools and integrations with Claude Code that extend what the team can do.

A Typical Day

• Lead the Finance and ERP integration practice: set direction, run initiatives in parallel, and own the systems and processes your team supports.
• Balance management with hands-on work: unblock the team, review designs and code, and build complex integrations, backend services, APIs and MCPs yourself.
• Partner with Finance, Procurement, and cross-functional teams to translate requirements into integrations, automations, and reporting.
• Coach and grow engineers and contractors through design reviews, architecture discussions, and career development.
• Own the smooth operation of month-end financial integrations and reporting, proactively surfacing and fixing gaps.
• Explore the evolving GenAI landscape, evaluate new models and techniques, and share the learnings.

Role & Responsibilities

• Lead a team of engineers, including hiring, mentoring, and developing careers, while personally contributing at a Staff IC level.
• Own the architecture, delivery, and reliability of ERP and Finance integrations and microservices in Java / Python.
• Migrate integrations from Oracle Cloud onto our in-house platform, and extend that platform so teams across Airbnb can self-serve.
• Design and build AI-assisted automations and MCP integrations that extend internal platform capabilities.
• Contribute to organizational priorities and to defining the team roadmap and strategy.
• Uphold quality, reliability, and security through code reviews, testing, monitoring, and incident response.
