Sr Software Engineer - Engineer

About the role and team
The AM&D (Autonomous Mobility & Delivery) team owns the autonomous future of Uber’s Rides and Eats business, which is one of Uber’s most important bets as a public company that sets the world in motion. Our goal is to eventually enable mass-scale AV commercialization globally in all 10,000+ cities Uber operates. We are just getting started.
As we gradually but surely move towards this future, there is a full spectrum of engineering challenges that need to be tackled. For the Autonomous Mobility Product Engineering team, specifically:
How do we drive AV adoption with informative, trustworthy, and exciting experiences?
How do we make sure a rider's autonomous ride-share experience is still safe, informative, and trustworthy without a human driver to interact with? From pickup, to on-trip to drop-off.
We are solving problems that have never been solved before. Creating solutions that will shape the world’s future in autonomous transportation. Therefore, we are looking for the best software engineering talents to join us to write this future chapter for humanity.
