Job Description

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.

On this team, the UX writer contributes to and defines industry-leading KYC (identify verification) and other experiences that meaningfully impact the success of the company while aiming to keep friction low for legitimate hosts. In this role, you will help protect hosts and guests by setting standards for safety and transparency—building and maintaining trust through the design of clear, compliant experiences that reduce confusion and business risk while unlocking sustainable scalability of our business as a whole.
