About the role and team 

Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints.

If you think in systems and care about building things that actually work for millions of people, this is where you'll grow.

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.
