About the Role
You will be manager of a team of software engineers responsible for foundational services and infrastructure that the rest of Uber's engineering relies on. You will work closely with teams in California, Seattle, Vilnius and Denmark to align roadmaps, business goals, and maintain clear career paths for each engineer - it will be critical to foster a team environment that collaborates closely with remote offices.
