Software Engineer I

About the role and team 

Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. You’ll join a team that builds the platforms and services powering safe, affordable, and reliable movement in over 10,000 cities worldwide. The problems are complex, the systems are massive, and the pace is fast, requiring you to make smart decisions with guidance from seasoned peers. If you think in systems and care about building things that actually work for millions of people, this is where you'll grow.

We’re not looking for someone who just follows a manual; we need builders who thrive in ambiguity and own their growth. You’ll be part of a high-performance culture marked by perseverance, where your code directly impacts earners, riders, and merchants every day. This is a unique environment where the digital and physical worlds intersect, and every line of code helps move the world forward. You will face shifting priorities and legacy trade-offs, but that is exactly what makes the work meaningful and your impact tangible.
