The Global Intelligence Team focuses on making Uber take important marketplace decisions with better data and algorithms. The ambitious problems include modeling complex market-level dynamics, rider and driver choices, cross-service decisions across rides/eats, and fine-tuning Uber's pricing with data/algorithms from this team. The software engineers on the team use substantial amounts of data to address these challenges, building scalable engineering solutions. We are looking for people who are passionate about solving ambitious business/product issues with well-trained data engineering expertise, with prior experience or interest in science models and methodologies and who are also passionate about seeking the truth via deep-diving into the complicated structured and unstructured data.
What You’ll Do:
- Work on creating a platform that powers data driven decision making for Uber Rides and Eats line of business.
- Work very closely with the science team to implement and productionize the models.
- Design and develop new systems to empower fast data-driven decisions
- Build distributed backend systems serving real-time analytics and machine learning features at Uber scale.
- Work with the product and science team to build and drive technical roadmap and vision for the team.
Basic Qualifications:
- 2+ years of full-time engineering experience
- Experience working with multiple cross functional teams (product, science,product ops etc)

- Expertise in one or more object-oriented programming languages (e.g. Python, Go, Java, C++) and the eagerness to learn more.
- Experience with data-driven architecture and systems design
- Knowledge of Big Data Technologies
- Proven experience in large-scale distributed storage and database systems (SQL or NoSQL, e.g. MySQL, Cassandra) and data warehousing architecture and data modeling.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience or interest in learning science models and methodologies.
- Experience building complex systems and knowledge of Hadoop related technologies such as HDFS, Kafka, Hive, and Presto.
- A passion for taking ownership. You pride yourself on efficient monitoring, strong documentation, and proper test coverage and you call something “done” only when these are in place.
- Building and earning respect within the team and peers. You believe that you can achieve more on a team - that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others' candid feedback for continuous improvement and you help others by returning the favor.
- BS/MS/Phd in Computer Science or related field required
