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. NOTE: This position is US - Remote Eligible, but includes monthly in-person working sessions at the San Francisco Airbnb office. The Community You Will Join: Research has been part of Airbnb from the beginning, ever since Paul Graham told the Airbnb founders, "go to your users." As designers, the founders embraced this advice and got on a plane to meet with Airbnb hosts that very weekend. Since those early days, the value of research has been baked into Airbnb’s product culture. The Difference You Will Make: We're building our newest incubation work stream, and we're looking for a Staff UX Researcher who is equally strong in qualitative and quantitative methods. You'll be one of the first researchers on the ground for a 0-to-1 effort, which means the questions aren't defined yet, the roadmap will change, and your research will shape both. You'll know when to run fast to unblock a decision and when to go deep to get it right, while bringing senior stakeholders along the way. A Typical Day: Own end-to-end research for new incubation areas, from framing the questions to landing the recommendations. Utilize appropriate qualitative and quantitative methods to deliver fast, actionable insights. Triangulate across data sources and past learnings to get to the right signals in an ambiguous, fast-moving space. Balance speed and rigor: deliver quick reads when the team needs to move, and deeper studies when a decision warrants it, without sacrificing quality. Partner closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Design, Business Operations, and Data Science to shape strategy from research insights. C
About the Team Our infrastructure team helps deliver OpenAI’s most capable models and products to the world by scaling infrastructure and turning demand into useful FLOPS. We collaborate across research, engineering, design, and business to turn cutting-edge AI advancements into impactful, real-world applications. Our team ensures the right compute is available—at the right time and place—to support some of the world’s most demanding workloads. We empower all of OpenAI’s products and research by scaling the infrastructure behind them. Our work makes it possible to launch new models and products reliably and at scale. About the Role As a Data Scientist on the Infra team, you will play a key role in shaping how we scale the infrastructure that powers OpenAI’s products and research. This is critical as we operate one of the largest and most advanced compute fleets in the world, supporting millions of users and businesses globally. We focus on aligning infrastructure measurement, planning, scaling, allocation, and efficiency to drive measurable impact across the company. You should expect to guide the definition of foundational datasets for infrastructure resources, develop metrics that inform key decisions, build forecasting and optimization models, and establish source of truth dashboards and analyses that enable teams to understand and improve infra usage. Most importantly, you should expect to be a core partner to engineering, research, and product teams in shaping the infrastructure that powers everything OpenAI builds. This role is based in San Francisco, CA. We use a hybrid work model of 3 days in the office per week and offer relocation assistance to new employees. In this role, you will: Build and maintain foundational datasets and metrics that reflect infrastructure usage, efficiency, and scaling. Develop forecasting and optimization models to support infra planning and resource allocation. Partner with engineering, research, and product teams to shape infrast

Who We Are Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together . We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented. Millions of individuals, small teams, and large companies run their work on Notion. Notinos (our employees) are customer zero in bringing this future of work to life. We care about craft, building things that last, and the belief that great work is still fundamentally human. Our goal isn’t to ship the next feature. Each and every team of Notinos is working to set the standard for how humans work together in the AI era. From building a business’s system of record to making and managing AI agents to automating away the busy work, we care deeply about giving our customers more time for their life’s work. About the Role: We’re seeking an experienced UX Researcher to define and scale how we evaluate Notion’s AI-powered experiences—focusing on what “good” looks like not only for model output quality, but for the end-to-end product experience where people discover, set goals, delegate work, review results, and build trust over time with AI. This role sits at the intersection of research craft and evaluation operations: you’ll run studies that uncover user mental models, expectations, and failure/recovery behaviors, then translate those insights into reusable rubrics, workflows, and measurement approaches that product, design, engineering, and data science can apply consistently. This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We’re looking for someone who’s excited to work alongside the team during those days. What You'll Achieve: Define what “good” looks like (frameworks & rubrics): Establish clear, reusable evaluation criteria that reflect real user expectations—helpfulness,
