About the Role
MLEs lead efforts within the team and broader Delivery Marketplace organization to drive ideation, development and productionization of optimization solutions with real-time and ML-based signals that solve strategically important problems. Some existing problem spaces that the team works on:
- Using statistical/machine learning/forecasting models for demand and supply models
- State of the art prediction models for estimating food preparation times, batching quality as well as time spent by couriers at restaurants picking up items.
- Develop objective function which balances magical user experience and economics of the business
It is a challenging yet rewarding job. You will have a lot of opportunities to work with product managers, data scientists and engineers from other teams. You will be in-charge of solving Uber scale problems with the right techniques like reinforcement learning/deep learning/optimization methods.
What the Candidate Will Do
- Drive the design, development, optimization, and productization of machine learning (ML) solutions and systems that are used to solve strategically important or vaguely defined problems.
- Build ML solutions to improve Delivery marketplace efficiency while delivering magical user experience
Basic Qualifications
- PhD or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a related field and 2 years of Software Engineering work experience.
