Staff Analytics Engineer

Описание вакансии

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:

Our mission in the Foundational Data team is to build and maintain high quality datasets frequently used across all of Airbnb.  We set company-wide standards that decide how locations are grouped into regions, visitors are measured based upon site traffic, bot traffic is separated from organic traffic, and cloud costs are attributed to Airbnb services.  This data is used to build public financial reports, drive strategic marketing decisions, and manage operational costs.  By collaborating with cross-functional teams, you will have the opportunity to drive significant business impact.

The Difference You Will Make:

As a Staff Analytics Engineer, you will bring a unique lens to our data strategy and provide in-depth technical mentorship and leadership to the team.

• Ability to provide technical leadership and mentorship, guiding teams on best practices and contributing to the development of analytic engineering strategies
• Experience exploring and leveraging LLM AI’s in every-day tasks (coding, documentation, etc…)
• Strong capability to forge trusted partnerships across working teams

Nice to have:

• Scaling data tasks via automation
