About The Role

Uber's newly formed AI Security team, part of the Core Security Engineering organization, is building the foundation for dynamic, data-driven security systems. We're evolving Uber's Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to be more risk-adaptive across authentication and authorization, moving beyond static rules and manual approvals toward real-time, ML-driven access decisions that secure both humans and AI agents.

As an ML Engineer, you'll help translate business and security needs into concrete ML problems, build models and features, and take them into production. You'll be part of a team working on greenfield projects at the intersection of ML, security, and infrastructure, shaping how Uber secures AI at scale.

Basic Qualifications

3+ years experience building and deploying ML models in production, with hands-on work in feature engineering, training, and evaluation. Proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar). Strong foundation in ML algorithms: tree-based models (XGBoost, LightGBM), classical methods (logistic regression, SVMs), and exposure to neural networks (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers). Ability to analyze business/security requirements and support translating them into ML use cases.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with risk, fraud, anomaly detection, or security-related ML systems. Familiarity with large-scale data/infra systems (Kafka, Hive, Spark, Flink, Pinot). Exposure to handling challenges such as imbalanced data, feedback loops, or iterative retraining. Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with infra, risk, and security teams.

What The Candidate Will Do

Support framing business and security problems as ML tasks. Build and iterate ML models that enable risk-adaptive, real-time decisions. Engineer features from Uber's risk systems, logs, and contextual signals. Deploy and maintain ML pipelines in production, ensuring reliability and scalability. Collaborate with senior engineers to integrate ML into Uber's authentication and authorization systems.
