About the role and team

Leading at Uber's Infrastructure organization means relentlessly raising the bar for reliability and availability, while designing a truly cloud native platform that seamlessly runs on multiple cloud providers. We are the Compute team at Uber, and are looking for a strong engineer to come shape the next version of our Compute platform. We own the foundational compute systems used by every product team at Uber - from control plane services such as node health monitoring to leveraging the latest kernel features to deliver graceful degradation at high utilization.

Provide deep technical mentorship across the stack, ensuring architecture and implementations are robust, extensible, and secure.

Build a world class, extensible multi-cloud compute platform. Collaborate closely with stakeholders in the big cloud providers to influence their roadmaps per Uber's business needs.

Learn from, and often contribute to, the leading edge in Linux open source to enable graceful degradation when there is resource contention

Lead and mentor engineers, reviewing code and designs while fostering a culture of continuous learning and humility. You will balance being AI-first while ensuring the quality of our code does not drop.
