The opportunity
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences…
What you'll do
Work backwards from the guest: write crisp briefs and requirements for new features, each grounded in a real guest need and a clear definition of success
Prototype with AI first: build working prototypes yourself to explore ideas, test them with guests, and align the team in days rather than weeks
Drive execution with engineering, design, data science, and program: management, from concept through launch and iteration, often with several features in flight at once
Go deep with the team on the details: review builds, test flows yourself, and chase down the edge cases that decide whether a feature delivers for guests
Shape how connections are integrated across the guest journey, from search: and booking to Trips, so planning and traveling with people you know feels natural
Build shareable, delightful moments like the travel map that bring new people: to Airbnb and grow the social graph
What they're looking for
- Partner with the social graph and social experiences pods, and with Trips,: Search, Checkout, and other partner teams, to ship work that spans surfaces
- Design for trust and privacy from the start, with clear controls over what people share and with whom
- Put mechanisms in place, like goals and a weekly metrics review, so the team: knows where it stands and acts on it
- Partner with data scientists on experiments, dive deep into the results, and: make clear calls on what to scale, iterate on, or stop
