Engineering Manager II - Advanced Matching - #194781

About The Role

Marketplace Logistics is a central pillar to Uber's core mobility and delivery products. As the central brain of the company, we are the decision-makers enabling seamless movement from point A to point B for all Uber orders, from UberEats to new verticals such as grocery. We handle all the logic from making the dispatch, predicting how long a delivery might take, and estimating optimal pickup times for orders.

At a high level the team leverage real-time marketplace dynamics to shape consumer behavior and optimize business trade-offs. We continuously aim to enhance the experience for all marketplace users, including consumers, merchants, and couriers. This includes building consumer facing products, optimizing our core algorithms and creating predictive models for order lifecycle events.

The team addresses large-scale variations of the traveling salesperson problem in real-time. At any given time, we have tens of thousands of delivery requests and couriers looking for work in a city. Our jobs are to write software that identifies who is the best driver to complete a given request, how to batch trips or orders together that have similar routes, and when the best time is to make this decision. As you could imagine, solving this NP hard problem creates many fascinating problems around how to search the problem space, how to rapidly reach a near-optimal solution, and how to scale this process to operate within seconds. To do this, our team uses a wide variety of innovative technologies.
