Senior Machine Learning Engineer Trust & Safety
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home and has since grown to over 4 million Hosts who have welcomed more than 1 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.
