We seek an analytical problem solver with good business insight to help drive solutions for strategic partners that integrate with Uber's APIs and other supporting systems. The individual must have the ability to build rapport with people inside and outside the organization and be comfortable engaging across all levels of a company -- from engineers to executives. Partner Engineers manage multiple projects simultaneously and must have meticulous organization skills with a keen attention to detail. One of Uber's company values is to "see the forest and the trees" - meaning the ability to zoom out and understand the "why" and adjust the "how" as needed. This role must be strategic in opinion with the ability to back it up with data.
