About the role and team Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. You’ll join a team that builds the platforms and services powering safe, affordable, and reliable movement in over 10,000 cities worldwide. The problems are complex, the systems are massive, and the pace is fast, requiring you to make smart decisions with guidance from seasoned peers. If you think in systems and care about building things that actually work for millions of people, this is where you'll grow.
We’re not looking for someone who just follows a manual; we need builders who thrive in ambiguity and own their growth. You’ll be part of a high-performance culture marked by perseverance, where your code directly impacts earners, riders, and merchants every day. 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.
What you’ll do
- Build and maintain high-performance services and infrastructure that support Uber’s global platform, ensuring that performance, safety, and scale are never separated.
- Navigate and solve messy, high-impact problems in fast-changing environments, often starting without a clear playbook or obvious solution.
- Manage technical debt and shifting priorities while keeping long-term system health and the experience of millions of users in mind.
- Champion engineering excellence by upholding standards for code health, testing, and design clarity, even when project stakes are high and time is tight.
- Collaborate across disciplines—including product, design, and operations—to influence technical direction and ship thoughtful, practical solutions at hyper-scale.
- Own your work end-to-end, from the first design document to debugging complex production issues when every second matters.
Basic qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience in 2025 or 2026.

- Knowledge of UIKit, Core Animation, Core Graphics, and related iOS frameworks.
- Demonstrated experience delivering technical initiatives within defined timelines.
Preferred qualifications
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment characterized by ambiguity and shifting priorities.
- Experience with custom UI and iOS/Swift best practices, including SwiftUI.
