This role presents an exciting opportunity to shape the future of how Airbnb hosts manage their businesses through innovative pricing tools and strategies.

The position sits within the Pricing team, which is dedicated to empowering Airbnb's vast network of hosts with sophisticated tools and education to implement adaptive pricing strategies. As a Staff Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of developing next-generation solutions that directly impact millions of hosts worldwide, working in close collaboration with Data Science, Modeling, Design, and Product teams.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will span both technical leadership and hands-on development. You'll be expected to drive technical strategy, prototype new solutions, and work closely with cross-functional partners to deliver high-impact features.
