Job Description

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 engineers to join our team to help grow the UberEats Ads business which enables eaters to discover new foods, and restaurants to grow their customer base. You'll work with teams behind apps used by millions globally every day.

Ensure these systems meet or exceed campaign performance goals, advertiser expectations, and system reliability standards.

Maximize Conversions, which leverages real-time bidding to meet key advertiser goals.

Requirements

Technical strength with 7+ years of experience developing and shipping code for production systems.
Demonstrated examples of project leadership roles, delivering production-level features from inception, and promoting a high-quality culture amongst the team.

Experience with operational aspects of monitoring, alerting, and structuring code for production-level debugging.
Strong command of a backend stack (e.g., Golang, Java, Node.js, Python, etc).

Nice to Have
