Senior Engineering Manager - (machine Learning) Uber Eats

Job Posting at Uber Eats

Our teams build the intelligence layer that powers personalization, relevance, and product understanding across Uber Eats. Every search result, carousel, recommendation, and product detail page is touched by our systems. From grocery staples to restaurant dishes, we make it easier for users to find the right items at the right time. From an ML perspective, our scope is broad and impactful:

• Personalization & Recommendations: We design models that learn from user preferences and contexts to surface the most relevant grocery items and restaurant dishes, driving both discovery and loyalty.
• Catalog Understanding & Enrichment: We build models that identify what each item truly is-brand, flavor, attributes, and the customer segments it appeals to-turning raw merchant data into a clean and intuitive shopping experience.
• Product Relationships: Our systems learn how items relate to one another-what's a substitute, what's often bought together, and what combinations optimize outcomes for both customers and merchants.
• Inventory Forecasting: Grocery inventory is volatile and high-stakes. We develop large-scale forecasting systems to predict availability and reduce substitutions-operating at a scale few companies reach.
• Computer Vision for Real-World Mapping: We use cutting-edge computer vision to digitize physical grocery stores in real time, enabling accurate inventory systems and powering operational excellence.

We're tackling some of the most complex and high-impact problems in personalization and catalog ML-at Uber scale. This is a high-visibility team with a mandate to redefine how millions of people discover and shop for food every day.
