Uber

The Uber Global Network Infrastructure team is looking for someone with a passion in developing intelligent network infrastructures and embedding adaptive AI-driven decision-making while operating these cloud and on-prem networks. This role will combine a strong background in on-prem and cloud networking engineering and operations—and their many challenges and triumphs—and take that understanding and expertise in creating a resilient, high-performance network.

If you value simplicity, work comfortably in a collaborative, fast paced environment, and are excited to both teach and learn, we’d love to talk to you.

Responsibilities

Design, build and operate all facets of our next-generation network solutions, to include cloud, transit, backbone and on-prem networks in a 24/7 environment that powers Uber's business.

Responsible for ensuring network availability, performance and future scalability through automation.

Embrace cross-team collaboration. Work with people across multiple Engineering and Business organizations to develop and implement network-based solutions that support global growth.

Apply intellectual curiosity and research new technologies; determine practical applications within our principles and implement in production networks.

What the Candidate Will Do

Create, develop and extend automation frameworks designed to automatically deploy or modify on-prem and cloud networking primitives, auto-mitigate common network failures, and improve operational health.

Provide production on-prem and cloud networking support (GCP, OCI), interconnects, and VPC creation.

Identify and work with stakeholders to drive new production designs and deployments for POP, backbone, transit or cloud networking.

Participate in a 24/7/365 global on-call rotation.

Collaborate with internal and external teams and stakeholders for projects, new functionality, or troubleshooting operational issues.

Qualifications

7+ years of network engineering and operational experience in production environments with proficiency in one or more programming/scripting languages (Python, Go) for network automation and tooling.

Experience leading large-scale green or brownfield architecture, designs, and deployments for global or national enterprise or service providers in backbone or data center network fabrics.

Passion for leveraging software innovations to automate network management, improve network observability, and remediate problems.

Proficiency in one or more programming or scripting languages such as Go or Python with 3+ years experience.

Proven ability to lead operational excellence through best-practice change management, outage mitigation and blameless post-mortem processes.

4+ years of hands-on experience designing, deploying and/or operating cloud networking in AWS or Google Cloud Platform environments (Direct peering, VPC networking, security controls).

Knowledge about distributed systems such as network/application load balancers, DNS, VM/container networking.

Domain expertise in AWS, GCP, backbone network design and architecture, large-scale on-premise data center networking, network automation and observability, and large-scale distributed systems.

Strong interpersonal skills, deep technical ability, and a portfolio of successful execution. Ability to discuss various technical approaches and drive consensus across stakeholders.

A relentless desire to improve each network and treat networking, operational efficiency, and automation as a science with room for breakthroughs.

Compensation and Benefits For U.S. locations, base salary ranges and eligibility for Uber's bonus program and equity awards are provided. Benefits details are available at Uber's careers site.
