Staff Machine Learning Engineer - Causal Inference

The mission of the Surge team is to maintain overall marketplace reliability by balancing supply/demand in real-time through dynamic pricing. We build scalable real-time systems to understand the state of the market, forecast future demand, make predictions using ML models, solve network optimization programs, and eventually make pricing decisions for each rider session. Surge plays a critical role in service of Uber’s mission to make transport accessible. We generate billions of dollars in annual gross bookings for the company by optimizing network efficiency and make a significant contribution to driver earnings. In addition to pricing, the signals we generate are some of the most important features used in practically every optimization/ML system across Uber. Although we are a backend team, what we do has an outsized impact on our riders because prices and reliability are two of the most important elements of customer experience.
