About the Role

In this role, you'll apply advanced machine learning technologies—including deep learning, generative AI for personalized communications, causal modeling, and reinforcement learning—to optimize pricing strategies and promotional systems. You will also work with serving infrastructure and product teams to design and evolve the rider pricing and promotions systems to support new product and algorithm evolutions, promotion use cases and drive Uber's top-line rider and revenue growth.
