About the Role
As part of Uber's AI/ML Platform Team ( Michelangelo), the Machine Learning Training team's mission is to make it really easy to train, tune, and build high-quality models at Uber.
We build our own ML training software stack and solve problems at all layers of the stack including iteration speed, compute efficiency, observability, fault tolerance, and correctness. On top of the core training stack, we build services, libraries, and frameworks e.g. automatic hyper parameter/architecture optimization, to accelerate the model development process. Check out [ 1, 2] for more information.
Our team moves at a fast pace and provides individuals with a high degree of autonomy and agency to affect change. We welcome kind and brilliant people to our team, from wherever they come.

- Knowledge of machine learning concepts, techniques and workflows.
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience with ML platforms like Sagemaker, Vertex AI, DataRobot, Dataiku, etc
- Knowledge of Java/Scala data stack
- Experience in building scalable and fault-tolerant distributed systems (e.g. using Spark, Kubernetes, Ray, etc)
- Built and delivered ML models into production
- Contributions to AI frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or XGBoost
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills working with multidisciplinary teams
We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.
