The Wikipedia number is incorrect. Actual number is ~7K with most being non-tech employees. About 1K engineers. If you break down the functions, the numbers start making sense. For example, Airbnb has a global payment processing platform, which is basically like mini-Stripe. That org is probably ~100 eng. Then there’s Homes, Experiences, Transportation, Lux, Plus, experimental projects etc. Each team owns a particular page in the flow. Each team needs a backend, frontend, iOS, Android person. Designer, PM, data scientist etc |
