What are the responsibilities and job description for the Staff Software Engineer - Fulfillment Logistics position at Uber?
About The Team
The Fulfillment platform is the foundation powering the logistics behind fulfilling user orders from any Uber app. It operates life cycles of orders, trips, drivers, eaters, and other user sessions when they interact with Uber. These interactions are real-time and high-scale when millions of concurrent riders, drivers, and eaters are using Uber. We support both Uber Rider businesses (pool, airports, hourly rentals, intercity trips, reservations, package delivery, uber health) and Uber Delivery businesses (groceries, uber eats, delivery API).
Our tech challenges are in both the business layer (data modeling of complex products, building reusable higher order business APIs to share across products) and the Infrastructure layer (storing high write & transient data, language framework, search & ranking, events & data streaming systems).
About The Role
We are looking for a Software Engineer to join the Fulfillment logistics (Supply and Order Fulfillment) team. Over the next few years, this team will be innovating with new offerings such as Autonomous Vehicles integrations, Multi-Job Orders, Digital and Field Tasks, Third-Party Drivers, and Package Delivery, while reimagining and re-envisioning the Fulfillment Platform end to end. This is a high-impact role where you will partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Operations leaders across the company to launch new products, scale critical platforms, and improve the overall efficiency, reliability, and performance of the Uber marketplace.
