About the company

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.

The Community You Will Join: UX Writing is a core design discipline at Airbnb. Our team of 40+ writers works closely with Experience Design, Experience Research, and Design Program Management to support the product development process from beginning to end. Whether you excel in upfront storytelling, end-to-end systems design, or nitty-gritty execution you’ll find your people here.

The Difference You Will Make: From concept to launch, our UX writers create industry-leading experiences for guests and Hosts that meaningfully impact the success of the company. The UX writers on the Host team strive to inspire and empower everyday people to live richer lives by hosting on Airbnb. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to conceptualize new products, shape content and product strategy, and codify our messaging. The Host team’s collective goal is to grow, support, and retain our Host community.
