About the Role
We are looking for talented engineers to join the Storage team whose mission is to develop and manage the database platform storing the majority of the operational data at Uber. We develop infrastructure which helps run Uber's large scale database deployments in an automated fashion and dynamically scale it to the business needs while ensuring that highest levels of reliability and uptime are achieved

• Own backend systems such as our in-house sharded MySQL solution Docstore, MyRocks and other infrastructure components necessary to deploy and run databases at scale
• Develop and maintain current as well as next-generation storage infrastructure that is core to Uber's business.
• Write maintainable and extensible code with high quality tests and documentation for the Control Plane and production automation to help manage large scale database deployments.
• Debug production issues, develop capacity plans and work on improving performance and efficiency throughout the stack
• Collaborate with others, both from Storage and from application engineering teams, to ensure that the infrastructure we are building works seamlessly and best serves application engineers.
• Share an on-call rotation and be an escalation contact for Storage platform incidents
