Uber is looking to solve the core engineering challenge of microservice communication by building an efficient, modern, and resilient foundation for its products. This involves achieving extreme scalability for a platform connecting over 25 million drivers and couriers globally, minimizing infrastructure cost, optimizing resource utilization, and implementing advanced load balancing for high availability, low latency, and reliable communication across distributed hosts.
Requirements
- Experience in building large-scale distributed systems
- 2+ years of relevant engineering experience, specifically working on backend services' networking stack or building infrastructure platform-as-a-service services
- Proficient in one of the following programming languages: Go, C++, Java
- Experience with Kubernetes (k8s), Istio service mesh and Envoy is highly desirable.
- A bonus if you are a domain expert in the field of network infrastructure, public cloud, compute, storage, networking, containers/orchestration, observability.
- A solid understanding of designing based on metrics to achieve business objectives
Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain the service mesh infrastructure (discovery, traffic management, routing) to ensure high reliability and scalability
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Compute, Foundations, Deployment, Cloud, SRE, Storage, and Product teams), design and implement scalable, reliable, and high-performance L7/L4 layer networking solutions, through sophisticated experiments
- Participate in on-call rotations to provide timely resolution of critical incidents and ensure system availability.
- Conduct in-depth debugging and troubleshooting of networking issues, both proactively and reactively.
- Continuously improve the monitoring and alerting systems to enhance system reliability.
- Stay abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies in networking, service mesh, and cloud-native architectures.
Other
- You have a proven record of building and productionizing highly reliable infrastructure at scale.
- Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with a passion for continuous learning and improvement.
- 3+ years of relevant engineering experience
