AI only answers correctly when it can trust the data underneath it. This role owns two connected parts of how Sigma shows up in that world: where Sigma's experience lives outside its own product (MCP, a CLI, the Claude and ChatGPT marketplaces, integrations like Slack, Teams, and Glean), and the semantic layer that makes every one of those surfaces trustworthy. The first mandate is Sigma's AI ecosystem: defining Sigma's approach to MCP, giving external agents structured, governed access to Sigma's data model; owning the CLI, giving developers a fast way to work with Sigma outside the UI; and building Sigma's presence in the Claude and ChatGPT marketplaces, plus integrations for Slack, Teams, Glean, and similar surfaces, so people can reach Sigma's data wherever they already work. This is some of the most visible, fastest-growing surface area in the product. The second mandate is the semantic layer underneath it all. Every agent, chat answer, and integration is only as reliable as the data model behind it — get a metric definition wrong here, and every surface built on top inherits the mistake. This includes setting the roadmap for how semantic views connect across data platforms and how the model evolves as new AI capabilities emerge. What you'll do Define Sigma's approach to MCP, giving external agents and tools structured, governed access to Sigma's data model. Own the CLI roadmap, giving developers a fast, scriptable way to work with Sigma outside the UI. Build Sigma's presence in the Claude and ChatGPT marketplaces, along with integrations for Slack, Teams, Glean, and similar surfaces, so people can reach Sigma's data wherever they're already working. Set the roadmap for Sigma's data modeling strategy, including how semantic views connect across data platforms and how the semantic layer evolves as new AI capabilities emerge. Partner with engineering and design to ship integration and semantic modeling capabilities that hold up at enterprise scale.

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 Community You Will Join: The Data Science team works closely with partners from Design, Product and Engineering across Airbnb’s product portfolio. Our work involves 0-to-1 innovation, applying sophisticated modeling techniques to critical Airbnb problems and finding new ways to leverage science for the good of the Airbnb community. Web prototypers work with Data Scientists to identify key questions during the development of these new solutions and build software prototypes that answer them. The work of DS prototyping covers everything from designing the right data visualization to focused explorations that help solve key design questions to broad explorations that help validate ideas. The Difference You Will Make: This role is focussed on partnering with the Data Science team to develop prototypes that show the potential of new data models targeting critical business and user problems. Step change advances in ML/AI have the potential to transform Airbnb, but doing that well requires not just building the right models, but also creating the right experience -- your work will be critical in enabling us to do that. Sophisticated and impactful models are often complex and hard to understand -- by building effective prototypes you can help close that gap and allow innovation to flourish. Your prototypes will enable leadership to make critical and strategic business decisions by demonstrating technical feasibility, suggesting implementation approaches, enabling user studies, and more. A Typical Day: As a web prototyper, you will create prototypes that enable differentiating and industry-leading produc
