Senior Data Scientist - Surge/Dynamic Pricing @ My team focuses on the mathematics and optimization of the execution of Uber's marketplace. That is, we focus on the operational issues of optimizing our real-time logistics platform via on-line dispatching optimization, optimal positioning of drivers in anticipation of demand patterns, the economic problem of how to dynamically price trips to optimize the efficiency of our marketplace, as well as many others. We are interested in hiring the top professionals & academics in the field of Economics, Econometrics, Finance, Quantitative Marketing, Statistics, Operations Research, and Industrial Engineering. Please reach out to me directly via LinkedIn if this matches your profile and are interested in opportunities with the team.

I led the formation of Uber's Data Science Modeling Team, which develops the advanced mathematics and algorithms which enable new innovation and improved efficiency in the product. This is Uber's team of economists, statisticians, and operations researchers who develop and own the mathematical and computational technology which is used for optimizing our dynamic pricing process, optimizing the rider/driver dispatching system, forecasting systems, traffic pattern analysis/detection, and many more. This set of teams has now grown to around 15 scientists in less than a year.
