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:

Core Entity Data is the foundational driver of Airbnb’s business. Core Entity Data needs to be current, consistent and reliable across various product surfaces and business processes at Airbnb.

• Sound business judgment, a proven ability to influence others, strong analytical skills, and a track record of taking ownership, leading data driven analyses, and influencing results.
• Experience developing or working directly on various aspects of large-scale ML/AI platforms. Experience with dataset generation, feature development, model testing and resource management to support the development of AI-powered product experiences.
• Experience in management and requirement provision for infrastructure teams.
• Ability to ramp up quickly and learn new technologies with minimal lag time.
