Job DescriptionAbout the RoleCore Services Production Engineering is a software engineering team, not a traditional operations or systems administration team. We solve reliability problems by writing code-building chaos testing tools, traffic engineering and dependency safety frameworks, automation tools, and observability primitives.
As a Production Engineer, you will blend multiple domains of software engineering to ensure Uber's services run reliably at massive scale, while improving compute efficiency and accelerating developer productivity across a platform that serves millions of users around the world.
Our main focus areas include:
- Chaos testing tools and applications
- Dependency safety frameworks and tooling
- Observability and alerting platforms
- Graceful degradation
If you've worked in an SRE, Production Engineering, or Reliability Engineering role with a strong software engineering focus-or are energized by solving complex engineering challenges and building tools that empower an entire engineering organization-you belong on this team.
What You'll Do- Design, build, and maintain software that improves the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of thousands of stateless and stateful production services distributed across multiple data center zones and regions.
- Lead engineering initiatives end-to-end within the team, across the Production Engineering organization, and throughout Uber Engineering to improve reliability through automation, engineering standards, developer tooling, and reusable frameworks.
- Work closely with engineers to understand their services and guide them toward practical, reliable architectures and implementations.
- Apply SRE principles such as observability, integration testing, load testing, chaos testing, on-call practices, incident management, failovers, and disaster recovery to improve mean time between failures (MTBF), time to detection (TTD), and time to mitigation (TTM).
- Participate in on-call rotations, respond to and lead the mitigation of production incidents, and drive post-incident improvements to prevent recurring issues.
Basic Qualifications- 8+ years of software engineering experience using Go, Java, Python, or similar programming languages.
- Experience delivering engineering solutions end-to-end, including problem definition, architecture planning, implementation, testing, and delivery.
- Ability to write clear technical proposals and Requests for Comments (RFCs), and drive engineering alignment across teams through written design documents and verbal discussions.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), reliability engineering, or incident management at a large-scale technology company.
- Experience in platform or infrastructure engineering, including disciplines such as compute platforms, software networking, online storage, developer platforms, or observability.
- Experience mentoring engineers and leading technical projects or teams while remaining hands-on with software engineering and technical implementation.
