About the role and team

Working at Uber means solving hard problems in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment. As an Application Developer, you will design, develop, and maintain the digital glue that drives productivity across our global workforce. You will play a pivotal role in modernizing how we work, acting as a critical link between complex business needs and the scalable technical solutions that power our ecosystem.

This isn't just about managing tools; it's about building for real-world impact where performance and reliability can't be separated. You will navigate the "messy" reality of large-scale enterprise environments, shifting priorities, and technical debt to build seamless automation. We are looking for a technically curious engineer who stays calm under pressure, takes extreme ownership of their work, and is motivated by the challenge of making movement - both digital and physical - more efficient. If you’re energized by the chance to build tools that thousands of your peers rely on every day, this is where you’ll grow.

Rate of Pay: $170,000 to $187,000 per year
