Job Description

About the Role

Our team builds the tools and services to manage the lifecycle of configurations for all of Uber's business areas (Mobility and Delivery) and domains (fares, dispatching, matching etc). We play a pivotal role in enabling Uber to launch new products faster and more reliably while ensuring Uber is compliant to regulations. Uber operates in more than 2000 cities with various preferences and configurations in those cities. We manage the configuration data available in the city and interface with the systems that enforce it. The user's product selection presented when a user opens our app in a city is an example of configurations managed by this team. Each product eligibility consists of numerous attributes and fields based on which a user may or may not be eligible. Additionally, the configuration or filtering, matching, fares, dispatching, tracking, that ultimately make a city behave a certain way is managed by the configurations managed by this team.



The team is full stack, we own various business-critical UI tools, databases, and real-time services.
