We’re looking for PhD candidates in the machine learning and optimization domain to intern during summer 2023 (12 weeks). You will be embedded in an engineering team and work closely with other specialists, data scientists, and product managers.

About the Role
At Uber, we work on a number of ambitious engineering products covering many lines of business as well as the underlying platform technologies that power those businesses. We foster growth and increase profitability of Uber by pushing the frontiers of machine learning, constrained optimization, statistics, data science and economics and developing highly reliable and scalable platforms to accelerate Uber’s impact on the transportation industry.
The team is rapidly growing with high impact and visibility across the whole company and has various ambitious problems in different engineering teams: Marketplace, Riders, Eaters, Earners, Partners, Maps, Payments and Risk, Safety, Data, Infrastructure, Uber AI, etc. We are responsible for developing state of the art technology that directly drives efficiencies and effectiveness across the Uber platform, by crafting a healthy and balanced ecosystem at a scale few companies can match.
As a PhD software engineering intern, you will have many opportunities to work with product managers, data scientists and, of course, engineers from different teams. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to iterate over a product for greater success while demonstrating your area of expertise (machine learning, statistics, constrained optimization, distributed system, etc.). This is a unique opportunity to grow your skills with real-world experience and do highly impactful, yet fun work at the same time. It is an ambitious yet rewarding job!
