# Senior Data Scientist, Trust (Inference) at Airbnb

Airbnb's Trust team is seeking a Senior Data Scientist to lead inference and measurement initiatives that protect platform integrity. You'll design frameworks to evaluate the impact of anti-fraud defenses, build statistical and Bayesian models to quantify risk, and conduct complex experimentation in environments where standard testing is difficult. Your work will directly influence product strategy and policy decisions around detecting fraudulent listings, fake inventory, review manipulation, account takeovers, and other bad-actor threats.

This role demands deep expertise in causal inference, experimentation design, and Bayesian modeling, combined with the ability to communicate sophisticated analysis to both technical and business audiences. You'll partner across product, engineering, policy, and operations teams to translate data insights into strategic recommendations that make Airbnb safer and more trustworthy for millions of hosts and guests globally.

The ideal candidate brings 5+ years of quantitative analysis experience with a master's degree in a relevant field (statistics, economics, computer science), or 2+ years post-PhD. You'll need strong statistical programming skills, proficiency with databases, and a track record of designing and leading experimentation programs in ambiguous, complex settings. This is a remote US-based role where your work has direct visibility to leadership and measurable impact on user safety and business outcomes.
