About the Role

Uber's Customer Obsession team builds the platform and AI that powers world-class support across

mobile, web, and voice

at global scale. We are now hiring a Staff ML Engineer to

architect, productionize, and scale an autonomous support agent

that resolves customer issues end-to-end. Experience with

agentic architectures

is a major plus. You'll push the state of the art in GenAI for customer service-LLM orchestration, evaluation, safety guardrails, multilingual support-while holding a very high bar for reliability and cost efficiency. We are still at an early stage and value candidates with bias for action who get creative with GenAI tools to accelerate execution and experimentation.

What you will do

Own the end-to-end agent architecture

: agentic planning and execution loops, long-term memory, persona/voice, knowledge routing, and policy enforcement for compliant, on-brand conversations. •

Advance retrieval & reasoning

: Build next-generation retrieval and reasoning pipelines, where the agent can search across different knowledge sources, apply policy-driven tools, and call structured workflows and ensure that responses are consistently grounded. •

Establish evals that matter

: offline rubrics, simulated scenarios, safety tests, cost/latency tradeoff suites, and

LLM-as-judge

(with calibrated human review) wired into CI/CD and experiment platforms. •

Drive automation at scale

: partner with Product/Design/Operations on coverage, policy alignment, localization, and rollout strategy to better customer experience and reduce

cost per contact

. •

Mentor/principle-lead

multiple pods; set technical strategy and quality bars; coach senior engineers on agentic patterns, reliability, and experiment velocity.

Basic Qualifications

• 7+ years building production ML/AI systems; 2+ years leading complex ML initiatives end-to-end. • Deep expertise in

LLM-driven systems

(inference optimization, prompt/program design, fine-tuning, distillation/LoRA, safety/guardrails, evals). • Track record of shipping

customer-facing

intelligent experiences with measurable impact (A/B testing, metrics literacy). • Bachelor's Degree, or above, in Comp Science or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

Agentic architectures

in production (planner/executor, memory, multi-step reasoning) and

RAG

over complex, policy-heavy knowledge bases. • Experience building

support automation

for large consumer platforms (routing, policy codification, internal tooling, co-pilot/auto-resolve). • Multilingual NLU/NLG (code-switching, low-resource languages), hallucination mitigation, safety red-teaming, and privacy-by-design. • Practical expertise balancing

speed

and

reliability

at scale: experiment frameworks, feature flags, canary/guarded rollouts, and clear kill-switches. ~~ ~~ For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $232,000 per year - USD $258,000 per year.
