Job Description

Senior Engineer And Product Thinker

Search at Uber Eats is more than just a utility; it's the engine for discovery that drives over a third of our business. We're on a mission to evolve search from a simple query box into an adaptive, intuitive experience that understands user intent before they even finish typing. We are looking for a senior engineer and product thinker to help us redefine how millions of users discover the food, groceries, and merchants on our platform. You will design and ship the systems that power our next-generation search results by engineering new modes for intent expression & discovery. You won't just build features; you'll improve how we build them. A key part of our charter is improving engineering foundations to increase velocity and modernize our tech stack.

What the candidate will do:

+ Own the future of search: You will lead the technical strategy and end-to-end execution for core initiatives. This could mean building new experiences for discovery and intent refinement, building the search stack on a modular framework with rich targeting capabilities, or laying the groundwork for natural language search.

+ Build for nuance and scale: You'll design, code, and ship features using Go and modern web technologies. You'll solve complex challenges at the intersection of a cutting-edge backend stack of ranking and retrieval logic, and user-facing presentation.

+ Drive the "flywheel": You will actively work with PMs, Designers, and UXR to understand the deep-seated needs of our users, shipping improvements that build user trust and kickstart a flywheel of engagement and discovery.

+ Level-up the team: As a senior technical voice, you will mentor other engineers, elevate our engineering foundations through initiatives like the migration to Lego, and champion a culture of high-quality code and rapid execution.

Basic qualifications:

+ 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping high-impact, user-facing products.

+ Strong proficiency in a backend language like Go, Java, or Python (we use Go) and experience designing the APIs and services that power front-end surfaces.

+ A strong sense of product intuition and a passion for the user; you're not just an implementer, you want to understand the why.

+ You elevate the engineers around you through thoughtful code reviews, clear design documentation, and mentorship.

Preferred qualifications:

+ You have direct experience with Search, Recommendations, or Ranking systems.

+ You have a history of successfully leading complex, cross-functional projects and enjoy the ambiguity and autonomy that comes with it.

+ You have a deep understanding of distributed systems and what it takes to build and maintain highly available, low-latency services at scale.

+ You are data-driven and have a deep appreciation for how system performance and small UX details impact user behavior. You're comfortable digging into metrics to diagnose a drop-off in the funnel.

+ You are excited about the "Inspiration and Discovery" pillar of our strategy and have ideas on how to build compelling experiences that exceed user expectations.

For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD$198,000 per year - USD$220,000 per year. For Sunnyvale, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD$198,000 per year - USD$220,000 per year.
