Software Engineering • Senior

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience in backend engineering, particularly in designing and implementing high-performance systems. Your expertise in Java, Go, or C++ allows you to tackle complex challenges in concurrent programming and distributed systems. You understand the importance of low-latency infrastructure and have a proven track record of maintaining high availability in large-scale systems.

You are skilled in architecting solutions that unify diverse ad surfaces and complex demand constraints. Your experience includes driving the development of reliability metrics to ensure system health and performance. You thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with product and delivery teams to build reusable abstractions that enhance engineering velocity.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the design and implementation of low-latency infrastructure, focusing on in-memory signal caching and ad platform consolidations. You will conduct latency deep-dives and system profiling to achieve aggressive performance goals, ensuring core ad serving paths operate under 20ms. Your responsibilities will also include championing operational excellence through DR audits and risk documentation, contributing to the long-term resilience of the platform.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive mission-critical initiatives that reduce latency and maximize availability. Your leadership will be crucial in architecting foundational capabilities that enable the next generation of scalable advertising products across the Uber ecosystem. You will be expected to document your findings and share insights with the team to foster a culture of continuous improvement.

What we offer

Uber provides a dynamic work environment where you can make a significant impact on the company's advertising infrastructure. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies and be part of a team that values innovation and operational excellence.
