Uber’s Road Safety Engineering team sits at the intersection of real-world mobility, large-scale data systems, and safety-critical decision-making. We show up for millions of people across the globe who rely on our platform every day, and this role allows you to find tremendous purpose by bridging the digital and real worlds to power movement and shape communities. Every Uber trip is made safer by the systems you will help build. This isn’t a place where you follow a playbook; it’s where you help write one. Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints where performance, safety, and scale cannot be separated. You will need to make smart decisions with imperfect information and own them. This role is high-stakes and fast-moving—the pace can be both invigorating and challenging to keep up with. If you think in systems, stay calm under pressure, and are energized by the messy reality of solving what’s hard, this is where you’ll grow.
Job Responsibility:
Design and lead the development of long-lasting engineering artifacts that reduce complexity and improve developer velocity across the organization
Solve messy, high-impact problems by building and maintaining backend systems that process petabytes of telematics and sensor data in real-time
Navigate technical debt and legacy complexity while making intelligent bets on high-impact innovations like GenAI integration
Foresee architectural gaps and opportunities 1–2 years out, working with leadership to address them before they become blockers
Champion engineering excellence by defining standards for code health, testing, and observability, even when time is tight and pressure is high
Unblock multi-team projects by building strategic relationships with product, design, and data science partners to ship practical solutions at speed
Lead from the front by being hands-on with complex codebases and serving as a multiplier through rigorous design reviews and mentorship
Rally engineers around technical goals, making the right trade-offs between short-term needs and long-term system reliability
Requirements:
Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field
Experience with designing and building large-scale distributed systems serving millions of users
Proficiency in backend development and software engineering fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, and system design)
Experience with leading complex technical projects that span multiple teams or organizational areas
Nice to have:
8+ years of professional software engineering experience, with significant backend depth
Domain knowledge in mobile telematics, sensor data, time-series data, or signal processing
Experience with streaming and real-time data pipelines or stream processing frameworks
Systems thinking and a track record of influencing technical direction across disparate organizations
Adaptability in navigating constant change and a "go-get-it" attitude toward resolving technical friction
