Design, execute, and analyze large-scale experiments within the Uber Eats and Uber Rides apps.

Perform analytical deep dives to explore topics including conversion funnels, shopping journeys, personalization & ranking, and user retention.

Design frameworks for optimizing tradeoffs across competing business objectives to maximize platform growth.

Collaborate with Product, Engineering, Design, and other cross-functional partners to understand user behavior and guide future product strategy.

Present findings and recommendations to senior technical and business leaders.

Basic Qualifications

Ph.D., M.S., or Bachelors degree in Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, or other quantitative fields.

Minimum 5 years of industry experience as a Data Scientist or equivalent role (2+ if holding a Ph.D.)

Expertise in experimental design and statistical analysis for A/B testing and causal inference.

Proficiency in SQL & Python for exploratory data analysis and modeling.

Strong analytical skills, with experience extracting user behavior insights from large datasets.

Experience with data visualization and dashboarding tools (e.g., Tableau, Matplotlib).

Preferred Qualifications

6+ years of industry experience, particularly in growth, product, or consumer analytics.

Proficiency in causal inference, funnel optimization, user segmentation, or lifetime value forecasting.

Experience in algorithm prototyping and development.

Exceptional communication skills across technical, non-technical, and executive audiences.
