At Airbnb, Instagram is where our brand shows up most visibly. It’s where travel, culture, and belonging come to life - not as a point of sale, but as something people choose to spend time with. This role will help define that presence, shaping a feed that feels considered, culturally fluent, and distinctly Airbnb.

We’re looking for someone who can combine creative instinct, editorial judgment, and platform expertise to build something innovative and enduring. Someone excited by setting the tone, raising the bar, and defining what great looks like - while still moving at the speed of culture.

The Difference You Will Make

We’re looking for someone who understands Instagram at a deep, almost instinctive level - not just how it works, but how to win at it. 

You probably spend more time on the platform than anyone you know. You see patterns before they become trends, understand the signals behind the algorithm, and have a clear point of view on what makes content travel - and what makes it feel stale.

More than anything, you think like an editor. You have a vision and can articulate taste. You know what’s worth saying, how to say it, and when. You understand pacing, sequencing, and how individual posts ladder up into a broader narrative.

You’ve likely played a meaningful role in shaping and growing an account, with a strong perspective on format, visual language, and storytelling. You understand the nuances of Reels, Carousels, Stories  - and how each can be used to build a cohesive, evolving point of view for Airbnb

A Typical Day:

• Air traffic control all content across social media to ensure everything works coherently together. 
• Ideate, conceptualise, and create Instagram-native content for Airbnb's owned channel across Reels, Carousels, and Stories
• Partner closely with internal teams and external creators to develop original content designed specifically for the platform
• Maintain a deep and constantly evolving understanding of Instagram trends, formats, algorithm dynamics, and audience behavior
• Develop original, repeatable content frameworks that move beyond trend participation and build a coherent, evolving brand narrative
• Own accurate, timely publishing and real-time community engagement on Instagram
• Partner with analytics teams to measure impact, extract insights, and continuously refine strategy and creative output

Your Expertise:

• Have managed or significantly grown an Instagram account - for a brand, creator, or yourself
• Bring a strong editorial point of view and a clear sense of taste across content, design, and storytelling
• Understand how content performs on Instagram - and can articulate why and be the voice to influence how we show up on the platform
• Can move from idea to execution seamlessly - concepting, articulating and publishing social-native content
• Think in ideas and community, not just posts - shaping how content connects with audiences over time
• Can dive in with community development and management in a way that feels ownable and distinctive for our brand 
• Spot cultural moments early and translate them into relevant, on-brand storytelling
• Are constantly pushing for work that feels sharper, more distinctive, and more culturally resonant
• Thrive in fast-moving environments and are comfortable making decisions with imperfect information

The community you will join

The Diversity and Belonging (D&B) team operates as a Center of Excellence (COE) and is made up of 3 subteams: Community & Culture, Global Strategy, and Solutions Designers. Solutions Designers build scalable systems and integrate inclusion expertise into People team workstreams and across the employee experience. This role designs solutions that create pull: Talent Partners, managers, and leaders request and use our solutions because they solve real problems well. Success is not measured by relationships cultivated or presentations given. It is measured by adoption rates and whether the solutions we build deliver impact. This is a moment of evolution for the team. You will contribute to the recently established COE delivery model as it evolves — building the kind of cross-functional credibility that makes culture, inclusion and belonging work land. The team invests in your professional development in data-informed and AI-assisted methodologies, and the role carries meaningful leadership exposure across the People organization and the business.

The difference you will make

The D&B Solutions Designer is a builder of equity systems, not a functionally-aligned consultant. This role turns research, data, and strategy into production-ready solutions (e.g. blueprints, toolkits, and strategic programs) that Talent Partners and business leaders can adopt without always requiring ongoing D&B support. The D&B Solutions Designer leads 1-2 workstreams within the COE and contributes to select Employee Experience (EX) team priorities. Designers' work will span across standalone builds, consultation and partnership with EX colleagues as part of time-bound EX priorities, and driving recurring D&B owned annual programs (e.g. external conference and partnership engagement blueprint). 

A typical day

• Own 1–2 D&B workstreams as DRI (directly responsible individual) — scoping the work, producing the deliverables, managing timelines, and reporting on outcomes to the Sr. Manager, D&B Strategy or Head of D&B
• Translate D&B insights into business language — connect equity data to employee experience metrics, retention outcomes, and business performance; communicate findings to Talent Partner, Talent, and business stakeholders in terms that land with non-D&B audiences
• Produce blueprints and toolkits that are immediately usable by Talent Partners and leaders without D&B needing to co-own the execution — each solution ships with the necessary components (e.g. a facilitator guide, an adoption guide, and at least one outcome measurement mechanism)
• Apply systems thinking to root cause analysis — before designing any intervention, conduct a structured diagnosis of the equity gap being addressed: what is the root cause (systemic vs. behavioral vs. structural), which populations are most affected, and where in the lifecycle does the gap originate
• Build measurement into everything — define baseline metrics and success criteria before any project launches; build dashboards or scorecards that track leading indicators (toolkit adoption, manager training completion) and lagging indicators (promotion parity, attrition by group) for owned workstreams
• Leverage AI and technology to scale reach — identify all relevant workflows where AI tools can increase consistency, reduce bias, or expand reach; build the workflow or playbook and document it so others can replicate it
• Drive adoption and ownership transfer — design an intake, communication, and rollout strategy for each solution; measure activation rates by function; iterate on adoption barriers when adoption falls short; the end goal is not just that partners use the tools or run the program - it's that the work is embedded in how the business operates and no longer depends on D&B to sustain it.
• Lead with a global lens — develop and pressure-test every solution for applicability across Airbnb's international footprint in partnership with regional stakeholders; build those needs into the design 
• Stay current on the field — bring at least 2 externally validated equity practices or data points into owned work per year; know what peer companies are doing and where we are relative to current best practice

Your expertise

• 5–8 years of experience in D&B, HR strategy, organizational effectiveness, or related people work — demonstrated track record of building systems, frameworks, and leading complex cross-functional programs, not just running existing ones.
• Deep equity expertise: you can diagnose systemic root causes, analyze disaggregated data, and design interventions at the level of process or structure
• Experience producing scalable solutions that were actually adopted and used by others without your ongoing involvement

This is one of the most consequential roles in CS Platform Product: you will own the full stack of personalization, from the underlying retrieval systems to the consumer-facing AI experience, and scale it across multiple Airbnb surfaces.

The north star: enable AIA to emulate the judgment, empathy, and accuracy of Airbnb's highest-performing human agents. To achieve this, you'll build a platform that continuously enriches the AI's understanding of each user, and surfaces that understanding at the right moment, in the right form, across every channel.

This role demands a rare combination: customer experience chops to build meaningful and delightful personalized experiences, technical fluency to partner with ML engineers on contextual retrieval architectures and model prompt design, and the strategic vision to set a multi-year product roadmap that transforms how AI serves our community.

A Typical Day:

• Partner with data science, ML, and operations to identify new high-signal personalization signals to serve user needs
• Own the product roadmap across ML models, signals, schemas, and prompt optimization to ensure the right information reaches the model in the most effective form.
• Drive personalization experiment design and measurement: define KPIs (self-solve rate, personalization coverage, citation accuracy), lead experiment design, and translate results into clear product decisions.
• Collaborate with ML engineers to shape requirements for accuracy, latency, and scalability improvements.
• Scale personalization infrastructure across Airbnb's AI surfaces, ensuring the platform is extensible enough to serve each modality's unique needs.
• Build a framework for continuous improvement: define how the team identifies personalization failures, prioritizes fixes, and systematically closes the gap between AI and human agent performance.
• Collaborate across engineering, ML, design, data science, and policy to build consensus on prioritization, drive cross-functional alignment, and ship with rigor from concept to production.

Your Expertise:

• 9+ years of industry experience with a BS/Masters OR 6+ years with a PhD, with deep expertise in AI/ML-powered platforms at consumer scale
• Strong working knowledge of personalization systems, contextual data retrieval, and LLM architectures - you can engage credibly with ML engineers on topics like RAG, retrieval optimization, and context engineering tradeoffs
• Track record of building and shipping foundational platform products that power multiple downstream experiences and surfaces
• Experience designing and interpreting A/B experiments and online experiment frameworks; ability to own end-to-end metrics strategy for complex AI systems
• Strong capacity to synthesize ambiguous signals into clear, prioritized product decisions
• Proven cross-functional leadership: able to align ML, engineering, data science, design, and operations teams around a shared vision
• Experience shipping consumer-facing AI products with personalization at the core
• Sharp product intuition for when AI automation should give way to human judgment, and how to design systems that make that transition seamless
• Ability to work at multiple levels of abstraction - from the architecture of a retrieval system to the experience of a guest trying to resolve a cancellation dispute

Airbnb's infrastructure is scaling fast in the AI era: more compute, more GPU spend, more complexity across the stack. The Infrastructure Performance team exists to make sure that growth doesn't come at the cost of speed, reliability, or efficiency. We treat performance as a first-class engineering property - measurable, continuously improving, and enforced across the software lifecycle.

This is the most senior performance engineering role at the company. In this role, you won't be handed a roadmap. You'll build one.

The Performance team owns performance across the full stack: CPU and GPU fleet utilization, backend service efficiency, end-to-end request latency, storage, ML infrastructure, and observability. That means instrumenting and profiling at scale, discovering hot paths, shaping how teams across the company think about performance SLOs, and influencing build vs. buy decisions on emerging hardware and software.

The team also builds the tooling that lets every backend team self-serve performance insights, scaling good decisions beyond your direct involvement.

On the product side, as the TL for Performance team, you will partner with engineering teams to tie infrastructure performance directly to user experience and business outcomes. When a host's listing loads faster or a guest's search returns cleaner results, some of that is the win enabled by the Performance team.

Why this role is unusual

Most performance engineering roles are reactive: triage a regression, close the ticket. This one is different. You'll be setting the strategy, defining what "good" looks like, and building systems that make performance a default property of how Airbnb ships software. That requires someone who can operate at both the systems level and the organizational one.

If you've been waiting for the chance to shape how an entire company thinks about performance, this is it.

Responsibilities

What you'll do:

• Define and drive Airbnb's long-term performance strategy, spanning product performance, infrastructure efficiency, and business objectives for scale and growth
• Lead the architecture and development of performance profiling and instrumentation infrastructure, covering CPU, GPU, memory, request hot paths, utilization, and deployment events, making these capabilities available to all backend teams
• Partner with infrastructure teams across compute, reliability, backend frameworks, and AI Infra to ensure the fleet operates at optimal utilization
• Connect performance outcomes to business objectives and company-wide SLOs, and guide engineering teams in keeping the stack scalable and efficient
• Evaluate emerging hardware and software technologies, engage with the external solutions ecosystem, and advise on build vs. buy decisions in areas of strategic importance
• Mentor and technically uplevel engineers across the organization through design reviews, architectural guidance, and performance best practices

About you:

• 12+ years of performance engineering experience in high-scale, high-growth production environments
• Deep understanding of how software and hardware systems interact at scale, including architectural patterns for performance-critical stacks. You know the difference between a bad algorithm and a bad cache eviction policy, and you're comfortable in the kernel, in the JVM, and in a post-mortem
• Strong familiarity with public cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with profiling and instrumentation tooling across CPU, GPU, memory, and distributed request tracing
• Demonstrated ability to define performance objectives and drive delivery against company-wide SLOs across multiple organizations. 
• You know how to move organizations, not just codebases: you've influenced teams that don't report to you, made the case for long-term investments over short-term fixes, and mentored engineers who went on to do exceptional work
• Strong communication and influence skills; comfortable driving technical direction with senior engineering and product leadership

This role will partner directly with Global Markets regional teams combined with Finance and Supply to surface local insights, build scalable tooling, and drive measurable impact on core business metrics.

The ideal candidate is someone with a strong data and analytics background. This person is curious, engaged, positive, and detail- and solutions-oriented. The world— and thus our industry— is changing quickly so the ideal candidate will be comfortable with responding promptly and changing course as needed when priorities and reporting needs shift. 

This role will be expected to be highly collaborative, and work regularly with multiple stakeholders and cross functional partners across Regional Teams, Policy, Supply, Finance, Data Science, Operations, Engineering, and Marketing.

The right candidate will already be recognized as a leader in the data and analytics field at this level, with a proven track record of using a range of strategies and disciplines to solve complex and ambiguous measurement problems for business teams. This person will also use their considerable experience with data and insights storytelling to influence large-scale strategic programs, and  be adept at leveraging AI technologies to accelerate and raise their craft.

You must be comfortable working in a global company, delivering counsel and guidance to senior leadership across the team and organization. The successful candidate will have solid experience creating internal advocacy and influencing multiple senior audiences on hard to communicate topics.

A Typical Day: 

• Design and build self-service analytics tools and dashboards that enable country teams to monitor performance, deploy local marketing levers, and act without waiting on centralized analytics cycles
• Partner with country GMs and regional leads to translate local business questions into structured analytical frameworks and actionable insights
• Develop and maintain measurement infrastructure for local marketing programs, including campaign performance tracking, incrementality testing, and contribution to marketing mix models (MMM)
• Identify and size new growth opportunities across international markets using a combination of internal behavioral data, supply/demand signals, and external market data
• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and Research teams to ensure data and tooling needs are scoped into roadmaps and delivered on time
• Contribute to the build-out of new local growth levers (incentives, promotions, merchandising, affiliate programs) by providing the analytical foundation for targeting, measurement, and iteration

Your Expertise:

• 7+ years of experience in data science, analytics, or business intelligence, ideally within a marketplace, e-commerce, or global consumer technology environment
• Expert-level SQL skills; proficiency in Python or R for data manipulation, modeling, and analysis
• Industry experience applying AI technologies for business growth and workflow acceleration
• Strong experimentation background — you are fluent in A/B testing, causal inference methods, and incrementality measurement, and can design and interpret experiments independently
• Demonstrated experience building self-service data products and tools — dashboards, automated pipelines, or decision-support applications — used by non-technical business stakeholders
• Experience working in or supporting international / multi-market business contexts; comfort navigating cross-cultural data nuances and country-level analytical complexity
• Exceptional ability to translate complex analytical findings into clear, compelling narratives for senior business audiences — you can make a country GM or a VP act on what you've built
• Proven track record of operating with autonomy in fast-moving, ambiguous environments and delivering high-quality work across multiple concurrent priorities
• Collaborative, low-ego working style with a strong orientation toward enabling the people around you — you measure success by the decisions your work influences, not the analyses you produce
• Familiarity with modern data stack tooling (e.g., dbt, Airflow, Tableau, Looker, or equivalent) and comfort working closely with Data Engineering partners to productionize analytical work

Preferred Experience:

• Experience with supply/demand modeling or geo-based analytics in a marketplace setting
• Exposure to growth marketing analytics (SEM, paid social, performance channels)
