About the role

Airbnb is seeking a Staff UX Researcher for Incubations to lead end-to-end mixed-methods research in early-stage incubation work streams. You will balance speed and rigor, triangulate signals across data sources, and partner with Product, Design, Business Operations, and Data Science to shape strategy from research insights. The role requires 10+ years of research experience, strong communication skills, and the ability to influence senior leadership in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
