Senior Machine Learning Engineer

About the Role

Uber Marketplace ( https://marketplace.uber.com/) is at the core of Uber's business, and Rider Pricing & Incentives is a strategically critical component of Marketplace. The mission of the team is to foster growth and improve efficiency of the marketplace through pricing and promotion optimizations.

We work on some of the most challenging marketplace problems that impact Uber's top-line and bottom-line directly and significantly. We build online and offline systems, leveraging tools from machine learning, optimization, and causal inference. We work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.

What You Will Do:

You will lead both ML and optimization projects to push the frontier of rider pricing/promotion efficiency and optimize the interactions with other marketplace components.

• You will end-to-end design and implement ML models and optimization algorithms that convert ambiguous problems into concrete solutions
• You will drive end-to-end project executions from scoping, offline evaluation, conducting experiments, influencing launch decisions, productionization, and post-launch monitoring
• You will collaborate with cross-functional partners including product managers and scientists

• 5+ years of experience in an ML/optimization role, or 3+ years of experience with a PhD in relevant fields (CS, OR, EE, Stats, etc.)
• Expertise in machine learning and optimization algorithms
• Experience with ML frameworks
• Experience with productionizing ML systems
• Proficiency in at least one coding languages such as Python, Go, Java and etc
• Strong communication skills and can work effectively work cross-functional partners
• Strong sense of ownership to drive projects end-to-end

• Experience in formulating and solving optimization problems
• Experience in evaluating ML models and overall system in a production environment
• Experience in designing data collection policy for ML models and policy evaluation
• Experience in causal inference and experimental design
• Experience in landing production changes into complex codebases and systems
• Basic understanding of Economics concepts
