About the Role
Marketplace Logistics is the heart of Uber's delivery products. As the central brain of the company, we are the decision-makers enabling seamless movement from point A to point B for all Uber deliveries, from UberEats to new verticals like grocery, retail and package delivery. We handle all the logic from making the dispatch, which order to batch together, predicting how long a delivery might take, and aligning optimal pickup and delivery times for orders.
We work to identify the right trade offs between timeliness and costs, and build experiences to surface these trade offs. Uber's product suite is constantly growing, and new verticals like grocery, retail and packages are new paradigms which provide new frontiers to rethink how we dispatch, the routing algorithms powering the batching decisions, and the ways couriers earn on our platform.
