Staff Engineer • Senior

Who you are

You have 7+ years of experience in engineering, particularly in roles that require a deep understanding of data systems and competitive analysis — you've successfully led projects that integrate complex data sources into actionable insights. Your expertise in machine learning and data analysis allows you to navigate high-stakes ambiguity and derive meaningful conclusions from noisy data. You possess strong problem-solving skills and can communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment across teams.

You are a systems thinker who thrives in environments where you can oversee architecture and technical leadership — your experience includes designing resilient systems that protect data integrity and prevent scraping. You have a solid understanding of adversarial machine learning and bot detection, which are crucial for maintaining the security of proprietary data. Your ability to mentor engineers and collaborate with senior leadership makes you a valuable asset to any team.

What you'll do

In this role, you will lead the design and development of systems that extract strategic insights from competitive intelligence data — your work will directly influence Uber's pricing strategies and marketplace configurations. You will oversee both offensive and defensive workstreams, ensuring that the systems you build can handle the complexities of external data while maintaining internal integrity. You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, data science, and security teams to shape the direction of critical systems that enhance Uber's competitive edge.

You will be responsible for integrating low-trust external data into internal systems, crafting coherent narratives that guide strategic decisions. Your leadership will be essential in mentoring engineers and fostering a culture of innovation and collaboration within the team. You will also engage with senior leadership to communicate insights and recommendations based on your analyses, ensuring that technical solutions align with business objectives.

What we offer

Uber provides a dynamic work environment where you can make a significant impact on the company's strategic direction. You will have the opportunity to work on high-impact projects that shape the future of the marketplace. We encourage you to apply even if your experience doesn't match every requirement — your unique perspective could be just what we need. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, along with a culture that values collaboration and innovation.
