Software Engineer I - Automation

Uber • Sunnyvale, CA • 10h ago

About the Role

At Uber, the Digital Experience (DE) team is reimagining how employees interact with internal systems. We combine solid software engineering with smart, AI-driven product thinking to build tools and automations that make work smoother, faster, and more efficient. From day one, DEE has focused on driving real productivity gains and meaningful business impact.

As a Software Engineer on this lean and fast-moving team, you'll be building scalable backend systems that turn slow, manual processes into smart, automated workflows. You'll help reduce repetitive operational work and improve support across enterprise functions like HR, IT, and Security. It's hands-on, impactful work that makes a difference every day.

You'll work closely with internal teams and SaaS platforms, using technologies like Java, Go, Python, and Generative AI (GenAI). Whether you're optimizing a process that used to take hours or building an AI assistant to handle support tickets, your work will directly shape the daily experience of tens of thousands of Uber employees, helping us move faster, stay focused, and get more done with less.

If you're excited by the idea of building intelligent systems that empower people and drive change at scale, we'd love to have you on board.
