About The Role

Delivery Matching is the brain of the company, planning all of the actions that must come together to enable a magical experience for customers of Eats, as well as new verticals such as grocery, retail, Uber Direct, and Uber Connect. Our team optimizes the problem of finding the best courier at the right time for each order, a combinatorial problem with hundreds of thousands of possibilities considered every few seconds. We also train deep neural networks to predict ETAs and food preparation times and decide which orders are most efficient to batch together.
