**About the Role** Our team specializes in the intricate tasks of building, deploying, and running microservices at a massive scale. We develop a robust platform for engineers to effortlessly deploy their services across thousands of hosts, spanning our data centers and cloud environments in OCI, AWS, and GCP. Through our platform, 100s of thousands of container images are built and deployed upwards 1 million times every week. The mission is to create a seamless deploy experience for Uber engineers, ensuring safe and reliable deployment of the many types of workloads comprising Uber’s software stack. We’re currently expanding the deploy experience to support more workload types, make deployment even safer and automated, and enhance integration with the rest of Uber’s internal platform offerings. As part of Uber's Up Platform, we provide internal, cloud-like tools for managing services and configurations in a globally distributed system. We aim to automate tasks currently managed by on-call engineers, striving for a self-healing system without compromising on availability or reliability – all bundled in a superior user experience on Up. If you're excited about tackling complex, high-impact challenges that keep Uber’s business running efficiently, and constantly evolving, we want you on our team.
