About the role:
Partners with stakeholders and leads team efforts to build and maintain backend services and solutions to support user-facing products, downstream services, or infrastructure tools and platforms used across Uber.
About the Team:
Uber is changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago, we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we're a part of the logistical fabric of cities everywhere. Whether it's a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.
We're looking for engineers to join our team to help UberEats build a new ads business that enables eaters to discover new food items/restaurants/grocery items and restaurants to grow their customer base. You'll work with teams behind apps used by millions globally every day and be a part of the technical foundations of this new LOB. In hundreds of cities, people tap their phones to get a ride, get food delivered, or earn extra cash with Uber; we're looking for engineers that can help us ensure every one of those experiences is magical.
