AI Engineer at Airbnb building Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platforms and AI-powered customer support surfaces. Focus on scalable backend systems, knowledge management, and AI-powered product solutions for community support.
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 Integrated Knowledge Management team, part of Airbnb’s Community Support Engineering, is foundational to creating the best customer service experience for our community of hosts and guests. The Integrated Knowledge Management team is responsible for building robust and scalable platforms that enable Airbnb’s content and knowledge to be leveraged across internal and external users, and to serve as the authoritative knowledge source for AI-powered applications and support surfaces.

Many problems exist in this domain including expanding our RAG systems to support new knowledge and solution sources, building the capabilities required for Airbnb’s expanding suite of AI-powered contextual in-product support applications, and implementing ways to improve velocity around experimentation and evaluation.
