Airbnb Software Engineer (Mid-Level) Interview Preparation Guide

Airbnb's software engineer interview process for mid-level candidates consists of three primary stages: an initial recruiter screening focusing on background validation and cultural fit, a technical phone screen assessing coding fundamentals and problem-solving approach, and an extensive onsite interview spanning 5-7 hours with multiple rounds covering coding problems, system design, and behavioral assessment. The process emphasizes both technical excellence and alignment with Airbnb's mission and core values. All candidates follow the same standardized process with team matching occurring after successful completion of all interview rounds.
