About The RoleWe build Uber’s infrastructure to deploy and run all database engines and other stateful systems such as MySQL, Schemaless, Redis, ZooKeeper, Kafka and HDFS globally for all of Uber worldwide. Our mission is to run all Uber's storage solutions at scale, with high-availability, low cost, and a high level of automation. All changes are automated (or self-healing) such as doing kernel upgrades, handling host failures, or growing storage clusters.What You Will DoWe manage around 100,000 hosts, millions of containers and exabytes of storage across multiple geographical regions with availability zones in both Uber’s own data centers and multiple cloud vendors. Databases are dockerized and co-located on hosts with intelligent placement to optimize utilization and failure domain anti-affinity to improve efficiency and reliability. Services are written in Go, focusing on clean, readable code with unit and integration test coverage. All code changes are peer-reviewed.We have phenomenal opportunities ahead to extend the integrations with the different database engines and to increase fleet-wide efficiency by optimizing scheduling, auto-scaling and resource forecasting. We strive to automate all operations currently handled by on-call engineers with the goal of having a fully self-healing system - without compromising on availability or reliability.Our team comprises a balanced combination of junior and senior engineers with a broad range of experiences across the industry.
