Machine Learning Engineer II, Pricing

About the Role

Uber's Marketplace is at the heart of Uber's business and the Dynamic Supply Pricing (DSP) team develops the models, algorithms, signals, and large-scale distributed systems that power real-time driver pricing for billions of rides. Engineers on the team work on cutting-edge marketplace ML problems and real-time multi-objective optimizations serving 1M+ predictions/second. They regularly present $1B+ opportunities to executive stakeholders and receive close mentorship from the most senior engineers within the organization, setting you up for fast-tracked career growth and the opportunity to learn from experienced technical leaders.

We are looking for exceptional ML engineers with a track record of extraordinary impact and with a passion for building large-scale systems that optimize multi-sided real-time marketplaces. In this role, you will lead the design, development, and productionization of advanced ML models and pricing algorithms, covering deep learning, causal modeling, and reinforcement learning. You will work with engineers, product managers, and scientists to set the team's technical direction and solve some of Uber's most challenging and most complex business problems in order to provide earnings opportunities for millions of drivers worldwide.

• Design, develop, and product ionize end-to-end ML solutions for large-scale distributed systems serving billions of trips

• Develop novel pricing approaches for online marketplaces combining machine learning, algorithmic game theory, and optimization to provide earnings opportunities for millions of drivers

• Partner with senior engineers to plan the scope and execution of projects and mentor junior team members on design and implementation

• Work with a team of engineers, product managers, and scientists to design and deliver high-impact technical solutions to complex business problems

• Ph.D., M.S. or Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Operations Research, or equivalent technical background with exceptional demonstrated impact

• 2+ years of experience in developing and deploying machine learning models and optimization algorithms in large-scale production environments

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Scala, Java, or Go

• Experience with large-scale data systems (e.g. Spark, Ray), real-time processing (e.g. Flink), and microservices architectures

• Experience in the development, training, productionization and monitoring of ML solutions at scale, ranging from offline pipelines to online serving and MLOps

• Familiarity with modern ML algorithms (e.g. DNNs, multi-task models, transformers) and mathematical optimization (e.g. LP, convex optimization), combined with proven ability and ambition to continuously deepen expertise in these areas

• Experience in translating ambiguous business problems into technical solutions in a structured and principled way

• Strong communication skills, including through documentation and design discussions

• Experience in developing and deploying pricing algorithms for multi-sided real-time marketplaces with strategic agent behavior

• Experience in reinforcement learning and causal machine learning
