Sr Software Engineer, Deployment Engine

The Team

Our mission is to build a best-in-class deployment engine for Uber engineers to manage their microservices. Building, deploying and running microservices at massive scale are our team's finest tasks. We build a platform that empowers engineers to seamlessly deploy their services to 1000s of hosts, distributed across our own data centers and cloud zones, while balancing capacity, debugging failures and managing networking at ease.

Reliability and usability is essential when Uber engineers globally rely on our platform to run Uber, so we're looking to expand our team with a collaborative and pragmatic engineer, who knows the value of great user experience.

What you'll do

Achieving our mission requires a modern tech stack, so our backend is written in Go and we use the latest React for our frontend. We take pride in writing clean code with high unit and integration test coverage, and do extensive peer-reviewing.

Soon after joining, you will:

• Design, implement and ship reliable and well tested features to our users
• Help defining the future of the deployment platform, both technically and product-wise
• Use data - and interact with users - to understand the next big problem to solve
• Coach and develop your team members and help them grow

Engineers on our team have a direct impact on the way our system looks and feels, and we favor a data-driven approach to product development, leveraging web analytics and metrics to inform our decisions. We also talk directly with our users to ensure their needs are met so they can stay productive and happy while running Uber's business.

Your background

Our team consists of engineers with a broad range of experiences across the industry. We value ideas over hierarchy, getting things done, and having a measurable impact on the business. As an engineer in this role, you should have a profile similar to the following:

• 5+ years of experience with backend development
• A degree in computer science / engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• Excellent coding and software design abilities
• Ability to drive complex projects from idea to launch and beyond
• Experience with distributed systems engineering
