About the Role
We are part of the Batch Control Plane team within Uber's Data Platform under platform engineering, building the foundational systems that power Uber's data lake. These systems sit at the core of Uber - enabling analytics, data science, and AI workloads that drive pricing, payments, routing, forecasting, and machine learning across the company.
We operate at massive scale, storing exabytes of data and serving hundreds of petabytes every day via billions of requests. Reliability, correctness, and performance are non-negotiable - when these systems move, the company moves with them.
Uber is in the middle of a once-in-a-career platform transformation: evolving from an on-prem, single-region data stack to an industry-leading multi-cloud, multi-region architecture. This isn't a lift-and-shift. It's a rebuild - happening live, with hundreds of thousands of production pipelines continuing to run.
To make this possible, the team works across a few deeply connected problem areas:
It's an opportunity to own core platform infrastructure, solve hard distributed systems problems, and help shape how Uber's data platform evolves over the next several years. You'll learn fast, take real responsibility, and see your work have immediate, company-wide impact.
What You'll do:
Build and evolve platform-level control plane systems that drive Uber's batch data platform migration from on-prem infrastructure to a multi-cloud, multi-region architecture
Develop and extend foundational frameworks enable safe, automated, and scalable migration of data and pipelines.
Design systems that determine when, where, and how data should move, balancing correctness, cost, performance, network and reliability across regions and cloud providers.
Work on intelligent migration strategies that leverage dependency analysis, access patterns, and MLIP-style models to decide optimal movement and placement of data balancing multiple decision variables.
Ensure migrations are non-disruptive and reversible, with strong observability, safeguards, and automated rollback mechanisms
Help shape the long-term direction of Uber's data platform by turning one-time migration efforts into durable, reusable platform capabilities
What You'll Need:
Strong computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and object-oriented design
Proven problem-solving skills with the ability to break down ambiguous, complex problems into well-structured solutions
Experience writing clean, maintainable, and testable code in at least one general-purpose programming language
Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively within and across teams
Bonus point if:
Solid understanding of distributed systems fundamentals (e.g., consistency, availability, fault tolerance, scalability)
Ability to reason about performance, reliability, and correctness in large-scale systems

We are Uber. The go-getters. The kind of people who are relentless about our mission to help people go anywhere and get anything and earn their way. Movement is what we power. It’s our lifeblood. It runs through our veins. It’s what gets us out of bed each morning. It pushes us to constantly reimagine how we can move better. For you. For all the places you want to go. For all the things you want to get. For all the ways you want to earn. Across the entire world. In real time. At the incredible speed of now.
The idea for Uber was born on a snowy night in Paris in 2008, and ever since then our DNA of reimagination and reinvention carries on. We’ve grown into a global platform powering flexible earnings and the movement of people and things in ever expanding ways. We’ve gone from connecting rides on 4 wheels to 2 wheels to 18-wheel freight deliveries. From takeout meals to daily essentials to prescription drugs to just about anything you need at any time and earning your way. From drivers with background checks to real-time verification, safety is a top priority every single day. At Uber, the pursuit of reimagination is never finished, never stops, and is always just beginning.
