Software Engineer II - Backend, Fulfillment Shopping

About the Role

The Fulfillment platform is the foundation powering the logistics behind fulfilling user orders from any Uber app. It operates life cycles of orders, trips, drivers, eaters, and other user sessions when they interact with Uber. These interactions are real-time and high-scale when millions of concurrent riders, drivers, and eaters are using Uber. We support both Uber Rider businesses (pool, airports, hourly rentals, intercity trips, reservations, package delivery, uber health) and Uber Delivery businesses (groceries, uber eats, delivery API).

Our tech challenges are in both the business layer (data modeling of complex products, building reusable higher order business APIs to share across products) and the Infrastructure layer (storing high write & transient data, language framework, search & ranking, events & data  streaming systems)

We are looking for a Software Engineer for the Fulfillment Shopping team to help build our next generation of product discovery, planning, and order checkout platforms. Over the next few years, this team will be innovating with new offerings like car rentals, third-party drivers, package deliveries, and reenvisioning the entire shopping and checkout flow for Uber. This is a high-impact role where you will partner with Engineering, Product, and Ops leaders across the company to launch new products as well as improve the overall efficiency of the marketplace.
