• Leverage cutting-edge ML techniques (deep learning, probabilistic modeling, reinforcement learning, etc.) to continuously refine marketplace signals.

What You'll Need

• Strong problem-solving skills, with expertise in ML methodologies
• Experience in applying ML, statistics, or optimization techniques to solve large-scale real-world problems (e.g. ads tech, recommender systems)
• Experience in ML frameworks (e.g. Tensorflow, Pytorch, or JAX) and complex data pipelines; programming languages such as Python, Spark SQL, Presto, Go, Java

Why Join Us?

• Work on high-impact machine learning problems that directly improve Uber's marketplace efficiency.
• Influence key business levers that optimize Uber's pricing, matching, and rider/driver experience.
