About the Role
The Shared Rides team mission is to provide a rideshare service at a substantially lower price point to a taxi or UberX via sharing the cost of the driver amongst multiple riders. We are developing a product which can achieve this lower cost while providing Riders with a predictable and defect-free experience and also generating sustainable earnings for Drivers and unlock the next frontier of growth for Uber for a product which also has hugely positive secondary effects of reducing carbon emmisisons and traffic congestion in addition to improving affordability
This team delivers all aspects of shared rides, from the experiences shown to riders and drivers, the matching algorithms to make efficient sharing, and pricing to predict where we will be able to generate the greatest cost savings and convert the most riders. We work to identify the right trade offs between timeliness and costs, and build experiences to surface these trade offs. Walking, waiting, scheduling and routing all provide opportunities for us to drive efficiencies to continuously push prices lower for our customers.
This is a great opportunity to build out new tech for this growing business. We build brand new experiences for the rider and driver in the highest growth part of Uber's ridshare portfolio.
What the Candidate Will Need / Bonus Points
\\-\\-\\-\\- What the Candidate Will Do ----
1. As a software engineer, you'll engage in product and engineering jam sessions conceptualising features and mapping them into a technical design. You will build software that will ship to millions of users, or thousands of fellow engineers growing multiple apps that directly impact the ease of our users' lives.
2. Design systems across the stack including close collaboration with backend engineers, designers, data scientists and product managers among others.
3. Help teams with defining an architecture that would scale and also encourage best practices.
4. Create frameworks and abstractions that are reliable, reusable and avoid surprising outcomes.
5. Go to person to get clarity of problem statements and also can breakdown into meaningful tasks.
6. Promote and demonstrate problem-specific expertise and execution excellence in delivering results
\\-\\-\\-\\- Basic Qualifications ----
1. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science.
2. 2+ years of experience in executing Android-based projects, providing technical guidance and training in Android development to teams of mobile engineers, and ensuring successful project completion.
3. Deep expertise in Java or Kotlin, with a thorough understanding of the Android SDK, architecture components, and design patterns.
4. Familiarity with mobile development tools such as Android Studio, and experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
5. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and third-party collaborators (e.g., Google, Apple).
\\-\\-\\-\\- Preferred Qualifications ----
1. Knowledge of data structure and algorithms and an ability to use them practically when implementing user-facing solutions at scale
2. Demonstrated experience working collaboratively in cross-functional teams
3. Experience collaborating on projects and working efficiently as part of a team.
4. Familiarity with concepts of distributed systems.
5. Experience analysing features in production using analytics and experiments
6. Thriving in ambiguity and having a go-getter attitude
