What they're looking for
- MS or PhD in a quantitative field: machine learning, operations research, statistics, applied mathematics, or a related discipline
- Genuine user empathy: you think as carefully about what a rider or agency dispatcher experiences as you do about model architecture
- Business sense and product instincts: you know how to translate a research finding into a shipped product and a shipped product into a business outcome
- Experience partnering with engineering teams to move models from research into production at scale
- Track record of working with external customers or partners to iterate on novel solutions in ambiguous, real-world conditions
- Comfort operating across research, product, and commercial contexts: you can present a model architecture to an ML engineer and a product strategy to a transit authority CEO
