Sr Software Engineer - Eater Real Time Pricing

About the role and team

Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Eater Real Time Pricing team, you will shape the surge pricing algorithms that keep Uber's delivery marketplace healthy. Our systems produce real-time decision signals that other critical systems - matching, courier pricing, promotions - depend on every second. The team sits at the intersection of the supply and demand sides of the business: when our pricing is right, the marketplace balances; when it is off, consumers and couriers feel it within minutes.

This role is for an engineer ready to own hard, ambiguous problems: pricing under extreme demand, forecasting supply and demand ahead of time, and evolving decision signals into complete products. The problems are complex, the systems are global, and the starting point is rarely clear. We are looking for a senior engineer who thinks in systems, raises the technical bar of everyone around them, and wants their design decisions to move a marketplace measurably. If you are energized by owning outcomes - not just code - this is where you'll grow.

What you'll do

- Lead the design and delivery of major surge pricing and forecasting workstreams end-to-end - from ambiguous problem statement through architecture, rollout, and measurable marketplace impact.

* Set technical direction for real-time pricing systems that serve decision signals to matching, courier pricing, and other downstream consumers at high throughput and low latency.

- Drive engineering rigor across the team: design reviews, operational excellence, and systems that degrade gracefully under extreme demand - and be a calm, decisive presence when production is on the line.

* Partner closely with Applied Science, Product, and Ops to turn models and marketplace insight into robust production systems, and to influence roadmap direction without form
