Software Engineer, Pricing Optimization

About The Team:

Airbnb is a new type of marketplace that is revolutionizing the way the world travels. Pricing is a huge lever for building an efficient two-sided market for both hosts and guests.

The goal of Pricing Team is to build data-informed products that can help hosts get more bookings and higher revenue with personalized price suggestions. To achieve this goal, we need to solve a lot of challenging problems:

  • build large scale machine learning models to estimate market demand for every combination of listings and travel date, local market trends, high/low season, special events, etc.
  • design economic models and quantitative algorithms to optimize price settings based on demand prediction of each individual listing.
  • create data analysis tools to visualize and understand relationships between demand and price changes.
  • build reliable data pipelines and dynamic systems to optimize prices in real time.
