About the Role

Uber's Commerce Platform Engineering group is vital for maintaining and enhancing the infrastructure that enables all Uber lines of business to conduct transactions. As a central and mission-critical system, all commerce in and out of Uber flows through these systems, demanding strict 4 9's availability. This is one of our largest scalable systems, and its complex day-to-day interactions require careful coordination from engineers with a deep sense of quality, security, and ingenuity.

The Order Platform team provides a reliable, self-service platform for accessing commerce data and capabilities across Uber. It serves as a single point of integration between various Uber businesses and commerce systems, acting as the single source of truth for all transactions performed by any Uber business, including Uber Rides and Uber Eats.

As a critical central platform, we bridge the gap between infrastructure and product. We solve deep technical challenges at scale within problem domains specific to Uber’s business. As a Software Engineer II, you'll contribute to the end-to-end delivery of initiatives, from design to production readiness. You'll work closely with engineering leadership, product managers, and technical program managers to develop roadmaps and ensure seamless execution.
