Senior Software Engineering - Fullstack
About the team
Uber Courier is one of the fastest growing businesses at Uber. It is an on-demand C2C package delivery service used by small businesses and consumers. We have recently crossed $1B in ARR and are still scratching the surface. The product is popular in Brazil & India and has a lot of headroom to grow in EMEA and US&C. Aside from core send & receive packages workflows, the product has many other use cases such as store pick-ups, package returns, intercity deliveries (in Brazil), etc., as well as new use cases we're piloting where a courier can be delegated tasks during the span of a delivery trip. The tech team is spread across US & India.
This role sits on the Courier Booking Experience team, contributing to modernizing the consumer booking flow, improving user comprehension and conversion, and building a delightful and intelligent experience catering to different user segments' needs. The team operates with a high degree of trust and autonomy – engineers own their area end-to-end, push back on each other's designs in review, and hold a high bar. We like working with people who care about the craft as much as the outcome.

- Contribute to key frameworks and role-model strong coding practices and thoughtful design review within the team.
- Mentor other engineers and help build strong working relationships with partner teams.
