One of the essential pillars of a high quality experience on the Airbnb platform comes from our front line investigators and agents who support our customers throughout their Airbnb journey. We believe service is a major differentiator that drives Airbnb’s global success and growth. We are building a technology platform that supports Airbnb as it scales, delivering an exceptional level of customer service while also preventing fraud and abuse across everything from identity, accounts, listings, and reviews.
To ensure global scale for future growth of Airbnb, we need to ensure the tools Airbnb Agents and Investigators use are intelligent, robust, and scale globally.
