Senior Machine Learning Engineer
Uber
Date: 1 day ago
City: Toronto, Ontario
Contract type: Full time

About The Role
In this role, with the Marketplace Earner Incentives team, you will contribute to building the next generation of models and systems aimed at addressing undersupply issues in the marketplace by effectively incentivizing drivers. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the lives of riders and drivers at Uber scale through end-to-end ownership of high-impact projects.
If you're excited by complex, real-world challenges-like motivating drivers in highly competitive markets with incomplete information-this is the space for you. You'll thrive by diving into problems, formulating and testing hypotheses, rapidly identifying simple solutions, and iterating quickly to drive continuous improvement .
