Airbnb's interview process for mid-level technical writers typically includes an initial recruiter screening, a technical phone screen focused on writing and documentation skills, and a multi-round onsite loop. The process emphasizes Airbnb's core values (Champion the Mission, Be a Host, Embrace the Adventure, Be a Cereal Entrepreneur), practical writing ability, technical depth, system thinking for documentation architecture, and collaborative problem-solving. Technical writers at Airbnb must demonstrate the ability to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences, manage content across platforms, and embody the 'belong anywhere' mission through inclusive, user-centered documentation.
