Job Title: Software Leadership Role

About the Position:

High-performance search capabilities are essential for Uber Eats, Groceries, and Retail - enabling customers to find suitable stores, items, and deals quickly and reliably. We design and operate large-scale query understanding, retrieval, and ranking systems that serve millions of users daily, continuously improving search relevance, personalization, and performance.

In this role, you will lead a high-impact team responsible for advancing Uber's query understanding capabilities - including query parsing, spell correction, synonym expansion, entity recognition, and intelligent suggestions. You will drive the design and optimization of distributed systems that power low-latency retrieval, ranking, and hydration, ensuring continuous improvements to the throughput, scalability, and reliability of the serving stack.

You'll partner closely with Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Machine Learning teams to bring new capabilities to market, while ensuring your team delivers systems that are scalable, maintainable, and reliable at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and execute a technical vision for backend services powering search.
  • Lead, manage, and grow a team of engineers, fostering technical excellence and professional development.
  • Drive execution for large-scale improvements in query processing, retrieval, and ranking performance.
  • Architect and evolve distributed systems to ensure high availability, low latency, and scalability at scale.
  • Partner with ML engineers to integrate AI-driven ranking and personalization models into backend services.
  • Collaborate with Product, Data Science, and other Search infrastructure teams to deliver impactful features and improvements.
  • Establish and uphold engineering best practices in code quality, design, testing, and operations.
  • Recruit, onboard, and retain top engineering talent, with a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • 10+ years of software engineering industry experience, including deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems.
  • 3+ years of leadership experience managing high-performing teams.
  • Strong system design and architecture skills, with the ability to lead from a technical perspective when necessary.
  • Proven track record of delivering high-scale, high-availability services in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience with search infrastructure (e.g., Elasticsearch, OpenSearch) or other distributed indexing/retrieval systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with search ranking, query understanding, and text processing.
  • Experience with big data and streaming technologies (e.g., Spark, Kafka).

Uber strives to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. Here, bold ideas create real-world impact, challenges drive growth, and speed fuels progress. What drives us, moves the world - let's move it forward, together.
We believe in empowering employees to succeed in their roles, which includes working in our offices. Unless formally approved to work fully remotely, Uber expects employees to spend at least half of their work time in their assigned office. For certain roles, such as those based at green-light hubs, employees are expected to be in-office for 100% of their time. Please speak with your recruiter to better understand in-office expectations for this role.
