Graduate Software Engineer 1 - Tor

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.

• Build, maintain, and optimize backend services and infrastructure that support Uber's global user-facing products and internal platforms.
• Design and implement high-quality, testable, and maintainable code using programming languages like Java, Go, Python, or C++ to solve well-defined technical tasks.
• Collaborate across disciplines—including product, design, and data science—to ship thoughtful and practical solutions at Uber’s hyper-scale.
• Participate in on-call rotations and apply best practices to troubleshoot, diagnose, and resolve production incidents with team guidance.
• Own your work end-to-end, from drafting technical documentation and design docs to monitoring product quality and fixing inefficiencies in the production environment.

Basic qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field in 2025 or 2026.
• Proficient experience with data structures, algorithms, and one or more programming languages such as Java, Go, C/C++, or Python.

Preferred qualifications

• Desire to work with a team that delivers high-impact results every day while navigating large-scale distributed systems.
• Grit, drive, and a strong sense of ownership coupled with an appetite for collaboration and constant learning.
• Proficiency in writing understandable, maintainable software and a curiosity to explore different solutions for complex problems.
• Experience or interest in building distributed systems at hyper-scale and making practical trade-offs based on business needs.
