**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.

**What the Candidate Will Do:**

+ Work on distributed backend system to support Ads business

+ Build data processing pipelines to process large amount of data

+ Bias toward action. You believe that speed and quality aren't mutually exclusive. You've shown good judgment about shipping as fast as possible while ensuring your products and platforms are built in a sustainable, responsible way--and you're comfortable making mistakes, provided you learn from them.

+ Ability to learn quickly on the go. We're looking for software engineers who thrive while learning new technologies and don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. You should be able to easily adapt to meet the needs of our massive growth and rapidly-evolving business environment.
