he Core Analytics & Science Team (CAS) is Uber's primary science organisation, covering both our main lines of business as well as the underlying platform technologies on which those businesses are built. We are a key part of Uber's cross-functional product development teams, helping to drive every stage of product development through data analytic, statistical, and algorithmic expertise. CAS owns the experience and algorithms powering Uber's global Mobility and Delivery products. We optimise and personalise the rider experience, target incentives and introduce customizations for routing and matching for products and use cases that go beyond the core Uber capabilities.
- What You Will Do -
Refine ambiguous questions and generate new hypotheses and design ML based solutions that benefit product through a deep understanding of the data, our customers, and our business
Deliver end-to-end solutions rather than algorithms, working closely with the engineers on the team to productionize, scale, and deploy models world-wide.
Use statistical techniques to measure success, develop northstar metrics and KPIs to help provide a more rigorous data-driven approach in close partnership with Product and other subject areas such as engineering, operations and marketing
Design experiments and interpret the results to draw detailed and impactful conclusions.
Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to build and improve on the availability, integrity, accuracy, and reliability of data logging and data pipelines.
Develop data-driven business insights and work with cross-functional partners to find opportunities and recommend prioritisation of product, growth, and optimisation initiatives.
Present findings to senior leadership to drive business decisions - What You Will Need -
