Software Engineer, Support Products

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.

The Community You Will Join

The Community Support Platform (CSP) team ensures that our community (guests and hosts) can get help when they need it. For situations where users can solve problems on their own, we try to arm them with all the relevant information and tools. For situations that require assistance from our support agents (“ambassadors”), we try to route them to the right agent for the given problem, and to empower that agent to solve the issue quickly. When something goes wrong, a fast and fair resolution can determine whether you’ll choose to book with Airbnb again. Being efficient here is not only good for customers, it helps to make our business profitable.
