Airbnb Senior Technical Program Manager Interview Preparation Guide

Airbnb's interview process for senior technical roles emphasizes a blend of technical expertise, program management proficiency, cross-functional leadership, and cultural alignment with their 'Be a Host' values. The process includes an initial recruiter screening, followed by remote technical assessment rounds, and concludes with a comprehensive onsite loop where candidates meet with hiring managers, engineering partners, program managers, and other stakeholders. The senior-level TPM track specifically evaluates your ability to manage complex, multi-team initiatives, navigate technical trade-offs, influence without authority, and drive large-scale projects to completion while maintaining Airbnb's quality standards and collaborative culture.
