PM roles at airbnb

Any PMs here that can share how the product group in Airbnb is, what skill sets do they look for while hiring? Is it required to have payments , hospitality industry experience or coding knowledge?

We do minimal external hiring of PMs now. Many of the new PMs transferred from engineering or design. Having a technical PM is a fucking godsend. Makes your life amazing as an EM or IC

I love hearing this.

Thank you for the response! What other roles in Airbnb are more suited for external candidates?

Not every PM has a technical background, and I only know a handful of PMs who've previously worked in the travel/hospitality industry. You probably won't get an interview if you're a recent college grad or not senior enough.

What skill sets are expected for a non engineer , also what experience level do you look for.

Would 2 years as an SDE in a non technology company be enough?
