Job summary

Uber Technologies Inc. in Sunnyvale, CA is seeking a Software Engineer II to build the data infrastructure for AV Labs: the systems that ingest, store, and index petabyte-scale multimodal sensor data from the fleet.

You will work closely with senior engineers to design and operate this infrastructure end to end. You will write clean, production-grade code, own features from design through deployment, and help keep the platform reliable and efficient as data volume grows by orders of magnitude.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.
• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building data infrastructure or distributed backend systems.
• Proficiency in Python (or C++/Go) with strong fundamentals in data structures and design.
• Hands-on experience with a distributed processing framework (e.g., Ray, Spark, or Flink).
• Hands-on experience with columnar, object-storage-backed data formats and table formats (e.g., Parquet, Apache Arrow, Iceberg, or Delta).
• Experience with observability tooling for batch systems (Prometheus, Grafana).

Responsibilities

• Build high-throughput pipelines that turn raw vehicle recordings into query-ready datasets, and make them correct under retries, reprocessing, and backfills.
• Design and tune how data is laid out, versioned, and indexed on object storage so reads stay fast as the lake grows.
• Define and evolve schemas and data contracts for heterogeneous sensor and telemetry data.
• Run large batch workloads on distributed compute, and improve their throughput, cost, and failure behavior.
• Own the operational health of what you build: metrics, alerting, on-call, and well-tested code.
• Work with the teams that produce and consume the data to resolve quality issues and roll out changes safely.
