Job Description

Uber Overview

At Uber, we ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion. We take on big problems to help drivers, riders, delivery partners, and eaters get moving in more than 600 cities around the world.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.

Job Description About the Team

The AI org at Uber is a pillar of excellence in the fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. To ensure that their innovations are materialized at Uber, we staff an exceptional data scientist team to build applied products that leverage the research learnings. The three primary areas of investment for the data science team are computer vision, conversational AI (primarily NLP/NLU), and sensing & perception. The team develops offline prototypes with researchers to demonstrate value, productionizes scalable models in conjunction with engineers, and designs rigorous experiments in collaboration with product managers' vision.

We are looking for data science/engineering leader to direct this team through both technical guidance and stakeholder management. The ideal manager will be able to converse with the team about nuanced machine learning concepts, but also capable of translating requirements and setting expectations with all of the teams we partner with across the company.
