Sr Software Engineer

About the Role

Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. As a Senior Software Engineer (Data & Backend), you will architect mission-critical systems that power the foundation of trust across our global marketplace—from ensuring millions of earners are paid accurately and on time to scaling the simulation platforms that drive billions in pricing decisions. You will work on uniquely ambitious projects where performance, reliability, and scale cannot be separated. The problems here are complex, the systems are massive, and the pace is fast. You'll need to make smart decisions with imperfect information and own your work end-to-end: from the first design doc to debugging production issues when the stakes are highest.

We are looking for technical powerhouses who think in systems, stay calm under pressure, and care about building things that actually work. If you're energized by challenge and motivated by real-world impact, this is where you'll grow.

• Solve production issues in product and system reliability.
