About the role
from listingAbout the Role and Team
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sr Software Engineer to join our Code Lifecycle team within the Developer Platform organization. We own the infrastructure behind code hosting, code search, and the SubmitQueue — the system that merges thousands of diffs daily into Uber's Go monorepo while keeping main green. What you build here is felt by every engineer at Uber.
What You’ll Do
Own and evolve Uber's code hosting, code review, and code search platforms — ensuring system stability and a consistently green main branch across our largest monorepo.
Design, build, and maintain Go-based tooling for the code review workflow, including the SubmitQueue, automated review checks, and custom integrations.
Drive projects end-to-end — from problem framing and stakeholder alignment through implementation, production rollout, and ongoing operations — making pragmatic build-vs-buy and rewrite-vs-incremental tradeoffs.
Define and enforce testing, monitoring, and alerting standards; track key metrics (land time, throughput, build reliability) and lead incident response and remediation.
Measure and improve developer experience through quantitative metrics, continuously refining workflows and tooling for thousands of engineers across the company.
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in Go and building distributed systems at scale
Track record of delivering well-tested, production-ready code with high standards for quality, monitoring, and operational readiness
Experience owning projects through the full lifecycle — scoping, design, stakeholder alignment, delivery, and production support
Demonstrated ability to make sound technical decisions under ambiguity, balancing engineering rigor with business priorities
Experience mentoring engineers and contributing to a healthy engineering culture through code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing
Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with build systems (Bazel, Buck, Gradle), CI/CD pipelines, code review platforms, or Monorepo infrastructure — with a focus on improving developer productivity and reducing friction in large-scale monorepo environments
Comfortable with production on-call responsibilities, including triaging high-urgency issues under pressure, driving incident resolution, and following through with root-cause analysis and preventive fixes
Experience defining and tracking engineering KPIs — such as build times, land times, or developer throughput — to measure system health and drive measurable improvements to developer experience
