The Marketplace Signals team at Uber is responsible for building and optimizing foundational marketplace signals that power user experiences and drive marketplace efficiency. Our team ensures that key signals-such as eyeball ETA, spinner time, and supply reliability indicators-are leveraged effectively across various Uber products and levers, enabling data-driven decision-making and seamless coordination across different business functions.

As a Staff Machine Learning Engineer, you will design, develop, and scale advanced ML models to enhance these signals, ensuring they are accurate, reliable, and optimized for Uber's dynamic marketplace. Your work will have a direct impact on pricing, matching, driver incentives, reliability metrics, and customer experience.

What You'll Do

• Develop and optimize ML models to enhance key marketplace signals (e.g., ETA predictions, supply availability metrics, demand forecasts).
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Pricing, Matching, Driver Incentives, etc.) to ensure marketplace signals are effectively utilized.
• Improve operational efficiency by building a centralized, scalable system for marketplace signals that serves multiple use cases.
• Ensure consistency and reliability across Uber's platform by maintaining high-quality marketplace signals that inform rider and driver experiences.
• Reduce technical debt by streamlining signal infrastructure and minimizing redundant computations.
• Leverage cutting-edge ML techniques (deep learning, probabilistic modeling, reinforcement learning, etc.) to continuously refine marketplace signals.
• Work with real-time streaming data and large-scale distributed systems to ensure Uber's signals are up-to-date and responsive to market dynamics.
