Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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 core team will consist of data scientists within the Marketplace organization, who develop models, foundational tools, and insights to improve the Airbnb marketplace for guests and hosts.

The Difference You Will Make:

You will develop methods to measure the impact of pricing feature launches, both experimental and observational (using causal methods). Your most impactful work will involve (1) designing experimental and observational measurement plans, (2) measuring the impact of new pricing features, 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.
• Creatively diving into data to understand the differential effects of pricing feature launches and turning that understanding into clear insights.
• Communicating learnings and insights to leaders and partners in a simple and lucid way

Your Expertise:

• 5+ years of experience with BS/masters degree, 2+ years of experience with PhD. 
• Experience with experimentation and causal observational analysis.
• Strong coding skills in SQL and either Python or R.
• Ability to autonomously set a roadmap for business impact.
• Strong oral and written communication skills - an ability to communicate complex technical concepts to a non-technical audience.
• Work authorization (if applicable) 
• Travel requirements (if applicable)
  • Preferred unique skill-sets (eg: experience with certain technologies, systems or platforms, specific cross-functional expertise)
