About The Role

At Uber, we provide a centralized, reliable, and interactive observability data platform that includes metrics, logging, and tracing. This platform empowers engineers with the tools needed for monitoring, troubleshooting, and performing root cause analysis at scale.

Our system ingests over 35 million log events per second in near real time and handles over 18 petabytes of data available for search, over 20 trillion records. As Uber continues to grow, our system evolves to meet increasing demands. Beyond solving the inherent challenges of large-scale distributed systems-such as scalability, availability, performance, and efficiency-we also focus on providing intelligent insights that identify issues before they impact our customers, ensuring a seamless experience for millions of users worldwide.

We are a dynamic, agile team with members from diverse backgrounds. We dream big, aim high, and execute with precision. Join us to tackle challenging large-scale distributed system problems and raise the bar of observability for Uber.
