Job Description:

Uber's Commerce Platform Engineering group is vital for maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure that enables all Uber lines of business to conduct transactions. As a central and mission-critical system, all commerce in and out of Uber flows through these systems, demanding strict 4 9's availability. This is one of our largest scalable systems, and its complex day-to-day interactions require careful coordination from engineers with a deep sense of quality, security, and ingenuity. The Order Platform team provides a reliable, self-service platform for accessing commerce data and capabilities across Uber. It serves as a single point of integration between various Uber businesses and commerce systems, acting as the single source of truth for all transactions performed by any Uber business, including Uber Rides and Uber Eats. As a critical central platform, we bridge the gap between infrastructure and product. We solve deep technical challenges at scale within problem domains specific to Uber’s business. As a Sr Software Engineer, you'll own the end-to-end delivery of large initiatives, from design to production readiness. You'll also support and consult with other engineers on their projects and mentor the team. You'll partner closely with engineering leadership, product managers, and technical program managers to develop roadmaps.

Job Responsibility:

  • Design, scale, code, monitor, and maintain a highly critical set of services
  • Contribute to, lead, own, and deliver complex projects or features
  • Recruit, onboard, and proactively mentor engineers
  • Serve as an escalation point for other engineers to troubleshoot and manage severe incidents in production
  • encourage the adoption of best practices in incident management within the team

Requirements:

  • MS/BS in Computer Science or a related field, with at least 6 years of individual contributor experience as a software engineer
  • Fluent in Go, Java, or C++
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems architecture — including concepts like consensus, convergence, load balancing, data consistency, and performance/efficiency
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, to articulate complex ideas to engineering teams
  • Experience being on-call and handling operational issues for a system serving production traffic

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience in fintech or payments
  • Prior experience with Go
  • Proven ability to identify and resolve performance and scalability issues
  • Experience as a tech lead who has mentored or led small teams in building product features at scale
What we offer:
  • Eligible to participate in Uber's bonus program
  • May be offered an equity award & other types of comp
  • All full-time employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan
  • Eligible for various benefits
