About The Position
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 that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. The Community You Will Join: You will join a collaborative team of data scientists, analysts, engineers, product managers and designers who build pricing products for Airbnb hosts.

Your most impactful work will involve (1) collaborating closely with product to inform pricing guidance for hosts, (2) foundational modeling for pricing recommendations that balance supply and demand in the marketplace, and (3) successfully surfacing insights with a strong and coherent data narrative to cross-functional partners, thus driving decision making for future pricing innovation. A Typical Day: Developing a strong relationship with cross-functional partners in Product, Engineering and Analytics. Writing software (Python, SQL, R) to model, simulate and measure the impact of new pricing features.
