Own the causal inference frameworks that turn Airbnb's short-term experiment results into trustworthy long-term impact estimates.

Airbnb's Core Data Science team is hiring a Staff Data Scientist to build and own frameworks that estimate the long-term impact of product changes, not just their short-term experiment reads. You'll develop causal inference methodology (experimental, econometric, quasi-experimental) that other DS teams across the company can reuse. This interview probes causal inference depth, framework-building judgment, and the ability to translate long-term impact estimation from theory into something that changes real product decisions.
