About The Role
More than 6 million drivers globally rely on Uber as their primary and flexible earnings source! To deliver on our value proposition as a flexible earnings platform, it is critical we reliably and clearly communicate what has been, and could be, earned to each and every driver on the platform. Information about earnings is the foundation by which drivers are able to set and track their goals and make tradeoffs about when and where to drive.
As part of the earnings platform team, you will have direct responsibility for vital systems and processes. You will take ownership of key features and initiatives in designing and building high quality, scalable systems in making earnings reliable and efficient. Your work will directly impact the lives of Uber's partners (drivers, couriers), riders, eaters, and operations teams across the globe.
What The Candidate Will Do
- Build elegant backend platform components for high throughput and low latency distributed systems.
- Solve challenging problems with cutting-edge design and algorithms.
- Work with others in the team to maintain the health of our systems and codebase, keep development hygiene, refactor and make improvements, and keep our systems robust and resilient.
- Drive adoption of best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability.
- Analyze and decompose complex software systems and collaborate with cross-functional teams to influence design for scalability and testability.
- Work with smart and motivated teammates in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Basic Qualifications
- 3+ years of backend software engineering experience.
- Expertise in one or more object-oriented programming languages (e.g., Java, Golang, Python).
- Experience with production-quality services, deployment, monitoring, and reliability.
- Background in distributed storage and database systems (SQL or NoSQL, e.g., MySQL, Cassandra).
- Ability to decompose complex problems into clean, extensible, performant services and systems.
- Self-driven to identify opportunities to make things better and more efficient.
- Thoughtfulness, high adaptability, and a willingness to learn.
- A team player attitude. You believe that you can achieve more on a team - that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others' candid feedback for continuous improvement and you help others by returning the favor.
Preferred Qualifications
- Prior experience working on features end-to-end, including frontend, backend, and database.
