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 Experimentation Team’s mission is to provide an insightful, reliable and easy to use experimentation platform (i.e., A/B testing) for our customers across the company.  Experimentation is critical to decision-making and customer understanding at Airbnb, with thousands of experiments being run each year on our platform.
