About the Role

• Uber is changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago, we were just an app for requesting premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas.

• We’re looking for an Engineering Manager to join our team to help UberEats grow its merchant teams which enables restaurants to measure and improve their performance. You’ll lead and work with teams behind apps used by millions globally every day and be a part of the technical foundations and product growth for these areas. In hundreds of cities, people tap their phones to get a ride, get food delivered, or earn extra cash with Uber; we’re looking for engineering leaders to help us ensure every one of those experiences is magical.
