Engineering Manager II, Grocery & Retail

About the Team

Uber is redefining the future of grocery & retail. A company that started by transporting people from place to place, now transports nearly anything a customer could want or need, on-demand. The Grocery Engineering Team is responsible for ensuring that as we move to transport more than just people & restaurant food, our platform evolves to provide a best-in-class experience for customers, earners and brands. Today this team is focused on grocery, but will continue to flex into a longer tail of categories in the future.

About the Role

As an Engineering Manager at Uber, you will be leading a group of engineers working with product managers, data scientists and other engineering teams to build global platform solutions to fulfill various categories of grocery and retail orders. Opportunities of this scale are extremely rare in Latam.
