Software engineer - Java

Partners with stakeholders and leads team efforts to build and maintain backend services and solutions to support user-facing products, downstream services, or infrastructure tools and platforms used across Uber.

About the Team:

If you are interested in making a direct impact to the company's bottom line, join the Ad Tech team. Uber is on track to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in marketing. A 10% improvement in ROI on this spend saves the company hundreds of millions of dollars and directly speeds up the company's path to profitability. Help us build the software systems that will make this happen. The team is still in its early stages, so you can drive products from inception to adoption and further iterations.

Responsibilities:

1. Build and work with real-time services along with batch data pipelines that track and attribute ad spend to actions that Uber users take (e.g. take rides, eats orders, etc.).
2. Work on systems that will use advanced machine learning techniques to optimize spend within different channels.
3. Build real-time systems that can handle millions of TPS in sub 10ms latency.
4. Build systems that detect ad fraud and help us eliminate ad networks that are only here to rob us of our money.
5. Build systems that get us free traffic (SEO and content) instead of having us pay other ad networks for it.
6. Build systems that will help us target the right kind of potential users. This involves working with datasets that are world population scale (billions of rows).
