## About the Role

* PhD or MS with 2+ years of relevant industry or research experience, in operations research, robotics, controls, transportation, computer science, applied math, or a related field
 * Deep expertise in at least one of: combinatorial/integer optimization, stochastic optimization or control, reinforcement learning/approximate DP, network flows, or marketplace/demand modeling, plus the curiosity to work across the rest
 * Strong coding skills in Python, C++, or Rust; you write clean, tested, version-controlled code
 * Ability to turn ambiguous real-world problems into well-defined models and explain the tradeoffs to non-specialists
 * Good communication and collaboration skills

## Description

* Design, prototype, and help deploy algorithms for vehicle assignment, staging, routing, and pricing
 * Model the inputs to orchestration (rider demand, data-collection value, servicing needs, events, and policies) as objectives and constraints
 * Work with specialists in marketplace economics, forecasting, and autonomy to turn their models into decisions the fleet acts on
 * Measure impact on revenue, utilization, and rider experience through simulation, offline evaluation, and online experiments
 * Contribute to how we evaluate and roll out orchestration improvements, * Internship or research experience in ride-hailing, delivery, logistics, or AV fleets (dispatch, routing, rebalancing, pricing)
 * Algorithms deployed in production or used on real operational data
 * Publications in operations research, transportation, or robotics venues
