**About the Role**

The Fulfillment Matching and Indexing team is a foundational component of the Fulfillment platform, critical for efficiently and reliably connecting supply (earners, drivers, shoppers) with demand (jobs, orders, routes). This team is responsible for developing and maintaining the core services and capabilities that enable real-time matching, search, and ranking. Our work directly impacts key business outcomes such as dispatch efficiency and cost per trip. We operate within a complex, high-volume, and low-latency distributed system with numerous cross-functional dependencies, requiring a strong focus on reliability and scalability.

This includes developing robust data models, defining clear APIs, and building core capabilities for tasks like concurrent matching and job assignment optimizations. Ensure that designs maintain a high bar for quality, prevent the accumulation of technical debt, and promote extensible solutions. Projects will involve developing data models for new earning opportunities.

• **Execution and Delivery Management:** Own the end-to-end execution of critical projects in Matching and Indexing (e.g., cost accounting, benchmarking, simulation frameworks). Implement and refine processes for planning, prioritization, and tracking to ensure timely and high-quality delivery, effectively managing competing priorities and inbound requests.

• **Cross-Functional Collaboration and Influence:** Proactively partner with Product, Data Science, and other Engineering teams (e.g., Matching, Rider, Fares) to gather requirements, manage dependencies, and drive consensus on shared initiatives. Represent the team in critical technical discussions and provide strategic input and guidance across the organization.

• **Operational Health and Efficiency:** Ensure the reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency of Matching and Indexing services. Drive initiatives for simulation, change validation, and cost optimization, ensuring the platform can scale effectively to meet projected growth. Oversee the efficient handling of customer inbounds and maintenance tasks for the Indexing platform.
