Security Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have extensive experience in security incident management, having led high-impact security incidents in a fast-paced environment. Your ability to make decisive, high-consequence decisions under pressure sets you apart, and you thrive in situations where ambiguity is the norm. You are technically credible and comfortable owning outcomes, even when there is no established playbook. Your background includes a strong understanding of security operations and incident response methodologies, allowing you to command complex incidents effectively.

You possess excellent collaboration skills, enabling you to work seamlessly with cross-functional teams. Your analytical mindset drives you to conduct thorough post-incident analyses, ensuring that you not only understand what happened but also why it happened. You are committed to implementing meaningful fixes that enhance Uber's security posture and prevent future incidents.

What you'll do

In this role, you will command the highest severity and most complex security incidents across Uber and its subsidiaries, serving as the single accountable leader during active responses. You will participate in an on-call rotation, where real-time decision-making with incomplete information is crucial. Your responsibilities will include forming hypotheses, setting strategies, and directing investigative focus to ensure effective incident resolution.

You will shape how Uber responds to security incidents at scale, raising the technical bar and influencing teams beyond Engineering Security. Your role is not just about coordination; you will be deeply involved in technical investigations and post-incident analysis, driving improvements in tooling and workflows. You will also collaborate with various teams to ensure that security practices are integrated into the broader organizational culture.

What we offer

Uber offers a dynamic work environment where you can make a significant impact on the company's security landscape. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge security technologies and methodologies, enhancing your skills and expertise in the field. The company values collaboration and encourages you to bring your unique perspective to the team. Additionally, you will have access to professional development opportunities to further your career in security.

We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement. At Uber, we believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
