About the Role

 

As the Uber delivery offerings continue to grow, so does our ecosystem of tightly integrated external partners. Partner Engineering is passionate about expanding, improving, and scaling the integration ecosystem across multiple lines of business. Partner Engineers work at the intersection of product, engineering, and relationship management to help our partners achieve comprehensive integrations that optimize all user experiences.

 

We seek an analytical problem solver with good business insight to help drive solutions for strategic partners that integrate with Uber’s APIs and other supporting systems. The individual must have the ability to build rapport with people inside and outside the organization and be comfortable engaging across all levels of a company -- from engineers to executives. Partner Engineers manage multiple projects simultaneously and must have meticulous organization skills with a keen attention to detail. One of Uber’s company values is to “see the forest and the trees” - meaning the ability to zoom out and understand the “why” and adjust the “how” as needed. This role must be strategic in opinion with the ability to back it up with data.


Basic Qualifications
  • Degree in Computer Science, a related discipline, or meaningful industry experience.
  • 5-10 years of experience in an external-facing technical role 
  • Intimate knowledge of APIs and adjacent technologies
  • SQL and/or other data analytics skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage with both technical and non-technical senior stakeholders
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, results-driven approach
  • Programming or development skills
