About the Role
The Fares platform calculates and records all the money flow in a marketplace. Over $150B+ estimated, computed in fares for riders, drivers, couriers, eaters, government and tax agencies, and toll authorities.
- The fares platform is the source of truth system that calculates and records the money flow between entities in a marketplace.
- It calculates in real-time the amount a rider is charged, what’s paid to the driver, Uber’s share, and payments to authorities like taxes, tolls, and airports.
- There is no room for error in this system. A 0.1% error is a million-dollar error.
Projects
- Fallbacks - determining what should happen when a mobility trip deviates from the original predicted route and ETA.
- Relative pricing - determine how we should manage our portfolio of products to avoid price interactions while at the same time optimizing for efficiency in a market (e.g., should Uber Black be cheaper than UberX when Uber X supply is constrained)
- Smart Rounding - determining a budget-neutral method for rounding fares to take advantage of left digit bias
