Sr Software Engineer - Machine Learning, Mobility & Business Platforms

About the Role:

Partners with stakeholders to design, develop, optimize, and productionize machine learning (ML) or ML-based solutions and systems that are used within a team to solve complex problems with multiple dependencies. This role also leads team efforts to leverage and improve ML infrastructure for model development, training, deployment needs and scaling ML systems.

About the Team: (We are hiring for multiple teams)

Marketplace Matching is vital for Uber's core rides business, optimizing it through advanced algorithms, dynamic pricing, and machine learning to balance supply/demand, enhance the rider experience, and drive growth. Initiatives include UberX Priority, Wait & Save, strategic market differentiation, and global expansion. The Surge team ensures marketplace reliability by balancing supply/demand via dynamic pricing, while Rider Pricing & Incentives calculates real-time prices and uses promotions to grow demand. Both are crucial to Uber's success.

The Uber verticals team manages the largest segment within Uber's rides business. Our mission is to help travelers (airports, shared rides, HCV, Consumer trains, buses etc) understand what to expect, when to request a ride, where to go, and how to find their driver, no matter where they land in the world.

The Mobility trip pricing(rider pricing, incentive, surge) transforms business strategies into actionable, optimized plans for Ops to effectively manage incentives and pricing. This group implements the core optimization algorithms behind each planning product, develops how Ops interacts with these products, manages the API between planning and real-time systems and makes sure the planning products run reliably and produce high-quality results.

What You'll Do:

- Design, build, and deploy scalable machine learning models to production to solve real-world business problems.
- Collaborate with cross-engineering teams, data scientists and other partners to gather requirements and translate them into technical specification
- Work closely with multi-functional leads to develop technical vision, new methodological approaches, and drive team direction.
- Write clean, testable, and efficient code to ensure models run with low latency and high reliability.
- Implement monitoring systems to track model performance, stability, and data drift in live environments.
- Mentor and guide other engineers, providing technical leadership and encouraging a collaborative and growth-oriented team environment
- Stay up-to-date with standard machine learning algorithms and industry trends to continuously improve our tech stack.
