**About The Role** Marketplace Logistics is the heart of 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 like grocery, retail and package delivery. We handle all the logic from making the dispatch, which order to batch together, predicting how long a delivery might take, and aligning optimal pickup and delivery times for orders. We work to identify the right trade offs between timeliness and costs, and build experiences to surface these trade offs. Uber’s product suite is constantly growing, and new verticals like grocery, retail and packages are new paradigms which provide new frontiers to rethink how we dispatch, the routing algorithms powering the batching decisions, and the ways couriers earn on our platform. 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. **What You Will Do** - Provide technical leadership to a passionate, experienced, and diverse engineering team - Work with the team and partners to define the broader architecture for the Scheduled Logistics team - See the big picture and identify inefficiencies and opportunities for meaningful improvements across that Matching Platform and Uber as a whole. - Drive alignment between teams on architecture and responsibility delineation between platforms and product services. - Raise the bar on engineering best practices across your org to produce best in class of code, and effective documentation, testing, and monitoring. **Basic Qualifications** - Strong technical delivery, with 8+ years of experience experience building highly scalable software - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, experience writing detailed technical documents. - Experience with Java or Go or C++ or c# - Passionate about helping teams grow by inspiring and mentoring engineers. **Preferred Qualifications** - Have a BS or advanced degree in Computer Science or a related field - Experience working cross-functionally with Product Management, Data Science, and Business partners - Experience building software engineering solutions for prediction and optimization problems - Contribute to the wider software community through open source For Canada-based roles: The base salary range for this role is CAD$182,000 per year - CAD$202,000 per year.
