Jessica has worked at Airbnb for 5 years, starting as a full-stack engineer on the Homes product and is now an infrastructure engineer on the Core Services team. After leading the development of the core user service during the migration from the monolith, she collaborates on next generation architecture. In addition to driving best practices for service development, she is the Vice President of women in tech group at Airbnb. Prior to Airbnb, Jessica received her Masters of Computer Science at Stanford and her Bachelors degree from UCLA.

The pop-up in your job: I really enjoy the intersection of infrastructure and Airbnb-specific product challenges when working with smart and compassionate teammates on the next version of architecture at Airbnb.  

Founded in August of 2008 and based in San Francisco, California, Airbnb is a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone. Whether an apartment for a night, a castle for a week, or a villa for a month, Airbnb connects people to unique travel experiences, at any price point, in more than 33,000 cities and 192 countries. And with world-class customer service and a growing community of users, Airbnb is the easiest way for people to monetize their extra space and showcase it to an audience of millions. No global movement springs from individuals. It takes an entire team united behind something big. Together, we work hard, we laugh a lot, we brainstorm nonstop, we use hundreds of Post-Its a week, and we give the best high-fives in town. Headquartered in San Francisco, we have satellite offices in Dublin, London, Barcelona, Paris, Milan, Copenhagen, Berlin, Moscow, São Paulo, Sydney, and Singapore
