Sr Software Engineer, Backend - Grocery

São Paulo, Brazil

About the Role

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.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help us develop and grow features and services that can power the global growth of Uber's offering related to delivering groceries and retail. On this team, you'll work closely with product, operations, and other engineering teams throughout the company. Also, we work closely with vendors and merchants that need to integrate their business with Uber.
