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:
Everyone at Airbnb thinks about trust, but our team obsesses over it daily. The Trust team is responsible for protecting our community and platform from fraud and safety issues while also ensuring our hosts, guests, homes, and experiences meet our high standards. The Adaptive Risk Investigation (ARI) team creates foundational tools that empower Trust Operations to integrate and scale human intelligence in Trust Defense. The team works closely with the Trust defense teams and the Operations team to tackle the changing landscape of fraud and safety issues, and build platform features to enable Trust products and Operations teams to quickly build investigations queues and take enforcement actions.
The Difference You Will Make:
As part of the Trust Engineering team, you will work in a team of talented software engineers to help us build intuitive & delightful experiences, strengthen our current offerings, and deliver new products to strengthen our Trust defenses. You will play a significant role in shaping the technical vision and delivering flexible, efficient and scalable solutions to stay on top of the ever evolving attack vectors and make Airbnb the most safe and trusted community.
