About the role
- 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 team sits at the intersection of finance and technical infrastructure, translating usage trends - cloud compute, storage, and AI spend - into forecasts and cost narratives that inform company-wide investment decisions.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain the monthly/weekly cloud and AI cost forecast, reconciling actuals against plan and explaining variance drivers to leadership.
- Partner with Infrastructure and AI Platform engineering teams to size, validate, and prioritize efficiency initiatives (model routing, token optimization, provider migration).
- Own migration-tracking reporting (e.g., provider mix shifts, cost impact of model changes) and ensure the underlying data is traceable back to source systems.
- Demonstrated ability to build and maintain complex financial models and forecasts in ambiguous, fast-changing environments.
Requirements
- Prior experience with AI/ML infrastructure costs strongly preferred.
Compensation
