Airbnb Senior Frontend Developer Interview Preparation Guide

Airbnb's interview process for Senior Frontend Developers consists of a recruiter screening followed by a technical phone screen and a comprehensive virtual onsite called the 'Engineering Loop.' The onsite comprises four distinct rounds: coding, system design, code review, and behavioral assessment. The process evaluates both technical depth (JavaScript fundamentals, React/modern frameworks, performance optimization, accessibility) and architectural thinking (designing scalable frontend systems, marketplace architecture patterns). Airbnb emphasizes practical, real-world problem-solving over pure algorithmic complexity and places significant weight on code quality, cross-browser compatibility, and user-centric design decisions.
