About 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
