Data Scientist, Inference - Community Support - Airbnb, Remote USA

A Data Scientist doing inference work in that organisation measures whether service changes actually worked: new policies, automation, agent tooling, routing changes. That means experiment design, quasi-experimental methods where randomisation is impossible, and translating findings into operational decisions.

The role is remote within the United States.

Good fit for: data scientists with causal inference and experimentation experience, ideally from customer operations, marketplaces or service businesses.
