About The Role

The Container Platform team’s mission is to build the next generation of Uber’s container orchestration platform that is secure, reliable, scalable, and highly efficient. At Uber we have a complex infrastructure spanning both data centers and cloud, supporting a diverse variety of workloads (stateless, batch) each different in its characteristics and requirements. Here are some examples (Link1, Link2) of the work that we do.

We build solutions to enable user jobs to be deployed anywhere in the world with the touch of a button. We build abstractions so that Uber developers do not have to care about infrastructure and infrastructure just works for every application type.

We actively work with the open-source community including Kubernetes and contribute back. We are at the cutting edge of technology and the team regularly presents at industry conferences.

Our mission is to make transportation as reliable as running water, and we are looking for a strong developer to drive and shape the technical roadmap & delivery of our Container Platform.
