Uber has recently (3 months ago) opened an engineering office here in Seattle. We believe in owning things, and as such the engineering team here is focused fully on Uber's Scalability (think sharded database, service routing, service discovery, byte protocols replacing http, etc.).
The team is building out fast, and so far we have been putting together a great team of talent with a healthy mix of alumni from the area (Facebook, Foursquare, EMC/Isilon, Amazon, Microsoft, and several local startups). The working environment is ideal -- best ideas win, the tooling strives to let builders build, and individuals think of themselves as owners and not renters.
Come enjoy working for a hot tech startup at home in Seattle... help us build out our new office's culture... exposure yourself to amazingly tough engineering challenges...
Looking for:
- Software Engineers interested in scalability / distributed systems
