About the role and team
Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. As a Sr Backend Software Engineer on the Real-Time Pricing team, you will build innovative products and scalable systems that power our global marketplace. Our systems produce real-time decision signals and sophisticated algorithms that other critical systems depend on every second. The problems here are complex, the systems are massive, and the stakes are immediate.
What you'll do
Own the implementation of complex optimization decision problems and handle low-latency microservices at scale at millions of QPS.
Understand and integrate with prediction systems, unifying pipelines into a combined real-time serving architecture.
Own the software lifecycle end-to-end: from design docs through production rollout, debugging live issues, and managing incidents.
Collaborate across disciplines — Product, Applied Science, UX Design and Ops — to translate ambiguous marketplace problems into robust system designs.
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of professional software engineering experience in backend development, distributed systems, or real-time data processing.
Proficiency in one or more object-oriented or functional programming languages (e.g., Go, Java, Python).
Track record of leading the design and delivery of complex, multi-quarter projects across team boundaries.
Experience designing and operating high-throughput, low-latency production services.
Bachelor's Degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with marketplace, pricing, dispatch, forecasting, or other real-time decision systems where algorithm behavior has direct business impact.
