#### **About the Role:** Our deployment platform enforces policies and gathers signals, ensuring that changes to Uber's production systems are rolled out incrementally and reverted if signals suggest a potential issue. We want to make production deployments stress-free for engineers across Uber, providing guardrails that continually evolve as we add new workload types. With ~700k rollout operations per week across deployment systems, orchestrating changes to roll out safely is challenging—and we are excited about solving it! Our platform makes informed decisions with a high degree of precision and accuracy, to detect possible incidents and regressions early and automatically, thereby minimizing the chance of outages. We offer automatic rollbacks of bad deployments, emergency deploy policies, lockdown of systems during an active incident, incident mitigation capabilities, and other critical capabilities that help Uber innovate at ‌ remarkable speed. If you're excited about tackling complex, high-impact challenges that keep Uber’s business running efficiently, and constantly evolving, we want you on our team. You'll be working on a critical platform that powers fast, secure, and reliable deployments, ensuring that innovation happens quickly without compromising safety. Join us in building a core system that drives Uber’s ability to innovate, keeps our customers happy, and ensures our services run with the highest level of reliability and security. #### **What You'll Do:** - Build elegant backend platform components for high-throughput, low-latency distributed systems. - Tackle challenging problems with innovative design and algorithms. - Collaborate with team members to maintain system health, ensure code hygiene, refactor, and enhance system robustness and resilience. - Promote best practices in code health, testing, and maintainability. - Analyze and decompose complex software systems, working with cross-functional teams to design for scalability and testability. - Work with motivated and curious teammates in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. #### **Basic Qualifications:** - **Experience**: 5+ years as a software engineer focused on building large-scale distributed systems with proven impact. - **Architecture**: Solid understanding of distributed systems architecture, including consensus, convergence, data consistency, and performance/efficiency constructs.
