Staff Engineer

About the Role

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 passionate developers to join the Rider Verticals, a cross-functional group in which Design, Data Science, Backend, Android, iOS and Web engineers work collaboratively to design and build products for riders to offer more options to choose from for their mobility needs, work on enhancing tech platforms and improve reliability of various core product offerings.

At Uber, we take pride in offering the best quality service to our customers - you will collaborate closely with product managers and business operations teams to build for scale, yet focusing on providing intuitive and delightful customer experiences.
