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:
It is a challenging yet rewarding job. You will have a lot of opportunities to work with product managers, data scientists and of course engineers from other teams. You will participate in the whole development cycle of a software product from product scoping, architecture design, software implementation, to productionisation, and learn how to iterate a product for greater success. We own a few products that directly impact Uber's top and bottom lines. We are a data-driven team, and you will be able to see the impact of your work reflected in Uber's earning report, such as gross booking and trips.
The least thing you need to worry about is scope and visibility. We have many different roles and levels in the team, and need a broad range of skills such as machine learning, big data, optimization, and infrastructure. This is a unique opportunity to grow your career and do highly impactful fun things at the same time.
Minimum qualifications:

• PhD or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or related field OR 3-years full-time Software Engineering work experience, WHICH INCLUDES 2-years total technical software engineering experience in one or more of the following areas:
• Programming language (e.g. C, C++, Java, Python, or Go)
• Training using data structures and algorithms
• Modern machine learning algorithms (e.g., tree-based techniques, supervised, deep, or probabilistic learning)
• Machine Learning Software such as Tensorflow/Pytorch, Caffe, Scikit-Learn, or Spark MLLib

• Note the 2-years total of specialized software engineering experience may have been gained through education and full-time work experience, additional training, coursework, research, or similar (OR some combination of these).
