Airbnb | Staff Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure | Full-time | Onsite | San Francisco/San Jose, California

Airbnb is looking for experienced staff level software engineers to join our Cloud Infrastructure team. Cloud Infrastructure is a foundational team that manages the compute clusters, cloud deployments and service discovery infrastructure used to serve traffic to the millions of global Airbnb users. We work with approximately 1,500 product engineers within Airbnb and run many tier 0 services that have strict requirements for scale and robustness.

I've worked at a few companies over my career so far and it was surprising to me when I joined Airbnb last year that we have managed to hold onto such a strong sense of mission and such a welcoming culture. For a company of thousands of people, that is no easy feat.

On the engineering side, we run some of the largest Kubernetes infrastructure by footprint in the industry and that comes with some fascinating technical and organisational challenges.

I know public service roles are salary capped, but it's distressing to me that the CIO of the FBI will be making only "$131,239 to $192,180" which is less than even a medium-sized tech company executive would make. This person would be the front line of security defense for our top law enforcement agency and the enemies of that agency have billions of dollars of funding. It just seems like we should be paying for the…

You don't go there for the money, nobody does. You work hard for a few years,make connections, get experience and jump ship to private sector that'll compensate for all those years of underpayment.

This makes no sense to me.

The clear answer is that is unfair for our system to pay critical employees so poorly.

The federal sector can't compete with the private sector on value fulfillment - and that is a major problem, not a feature.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm risking my behind here by breaking HN law but I just had to say, this is some very strong copywriting assuming you're technical. Excellent job man. Good luck!

out of curiosity, what HN law are you potentially breaking? I'm guessing there's a law that prohibits posts that simply say another comment is good?

It looks to me like no actual rule was broken per se, but GP is aware he was breaking more like a thing of etiquette. It's kind of an "apologies in advance, as I know this is sort of rude, but I'm going to say it anyway because I'm saying something nice" that wasn't phrased optimally.

HN generally discourages lightweight chit chat to protect the signal to noise ratio. They more strongly discourage it in these Hiring posts and it seems to me that's the correct way to handle it because this is intended as a free advertising space, not a discussion space.

In part for purposes of making advertisers comfortable posting here so they will post at all, HN more strictly forbids attacks against the advertisers because that would drive away a lot of advertisers and harm the utility of these posts. But, also, these posts have a lot of little ads and it's already a huge pile of info to sort through if you are job hunting, even without chit chat and ugly, long tangents thrown in.

HN likely doesn't have the manpower to lock these threads and institute a pre approval process as the mechanism that protects these posts as 99% (free) ads. So they rely on certain social expectations to make this work.

Since the membership very much values these posts, the membership generally does a good job of respecting certain expectations.

There are spaces on the internet where the meme is "This is why we can't have nice things" and it typically gets stated as a way to say "It's not the fault of incompetent moderation. No, the members are just assholes who won't behave." (Often stated by the mods, who are incompetent and prone to putting out the fire with gasoline.)

HN has both competent moderation and members who more or less try hard to behave. This is why we can have nice things around here, like the Who is Hiring threads, which are a free service benefiting both businesses in need of staff and people in need of employment.
