The Cities team at Airbnb is an engineering team that builds systems to ensure Airbnb's compliance with government regulations. The team owns the host-flow for regulations, City Portal and a slew of other internal tools to monitor and enforce on regulated geographies. The Regulations & Automation team, which is a part of the larger Cities team, focuses on ensuring that Airbnb's services are launched in new geographical locations while adhering to local regulations. This process is made more efficient through automation which allows Policy and Operations teams to self-serve a large number of launches.
The automation tool is written in Typescript + React and uses a federated GraphQL service to communicate with the Java backend service. The service is deployed via Kubernetes and uses managed Amazon Aurora for storage. It was used to launch regulations in 40+ geographies affecting 100K+ listings in Q1'24 |

As a Product Engineer, my responsibilities involved taking ownership of the business goals of the problem area, to build a roadmap for execution and achieving business goals via tech and non-tech solutions.
We were building a product that would systemize the procurement process of goods at Udaan. We were purchasing and selling a lot of inventory but all the accounting was done outside the system. The goal was to build first class workflows around purchases, inwarding and reconciliation. This would help identify leaks and gaps in the financial process and prevent any potential for abuse. The architecture would include a product master, location master, vendor master, the layer to raise purchase orders for products to vendors, the layer to match the goods received at the Warehouse against open POs and subsequently trigger the relevant financial workflow(s). This was a massive overhaul of processes around warehousing, ordering, pricing and accounting. Key stakeholders across each domain were consulted and agreement was reached to roll out pan-india in phases over 6 months. The first warehouse was launched and the process stabilised in 1 month, 7 more were launched over the course of 2 months. Pricing and Ordering workflows were rolled out 100% across two categories with the rest to be ramped up in quick succession. |
