About the Role

Are you an AI/ML enthusiast? Do you enjoy discussing exceptionally technical AI/ML topics in depth? Does building the future of Ubers AI/ML ecosystem thrill you? If yes, read on!

At Uber, Machine Learning is extensively utilized across all product lines to deliver a seamless and magical user experience. We use ML to predict EAT (Estimated Time of Arrival) for rides and ETD (Estimated Time of Delivery ) for delivery orders, intelligently match riders with drivers, recommend restaurants and dishes for UberEats users, detect fraudulent transactions, and automate customer support, among other applications.

To enhance the ML dev experience, ensure ML quality, and drive ML adoption and innovation at Uber, the Uber AI Platform team has built Michelangelo, one of the industry’s first end-to-end ML platforms, from the ground up. Michelangelo provides industry-leading tools and capabilities for Uber’s ML developers to train, tune, serve, monitor, and debug ML models at scale. Today, 100% of Uber’s business-critical ML applications and use cases are managed and served on Michelangelo, from classic ML, to deep learning, and generative AI.

To meet the ever-growing and rapidly changing ML needs and better serve our continuously expanding AI/ML community at Uber, we are seeking an experienced and passionate AI Product Manager with strong technical depth, product intuition and entrepreneurial spirit to lead the development and execution of the vision, strategy, and roadmap for some key components of Michelangelo, bringing the platform to the next level.

• Set qualitative objectives and quantitative goals, define product requirements, and drive execution with the AI Platform Engineering, TPM, and UX design teams.
• Internal and external stakeholder management, and make tradeoff decisions based on technical and business insights.
• Monitor and measure launched products and feed insights back into the product development process to drive growth.
