At Uber, Frontend Engineers build web experiences that power the way people move and receive things around the world. As part of our engineering team, you'll work on large-scale applications that impact millions of users. You'll collaborate with cross-functional partners (design, backend, data science, product). Your work will help shape the future of Uber's Delivery, defining how people interact with Uber on the web. The Web Experience team's charter is to transform Uber.com into a high-conversion, consolidated platform that mirrors the app's sophistication while leveraging the unique advantages of the desktop and mobile web.

Responsibilities:

Design and implement user-facing features for critical web properties at scale, making engineering trade-offs between speed, maintainability, and user experience.

Own the technical design and execution of features, from initial architecture discussions to debugging production issues.

Collaborate across disciplines, Product, Design, Data Science, and Backend Engineering, to turn ambiguous business needs into clear, scalable front-end systems.

Champion front-end engineering excellence, defining and leading the adoption of code health, testing, and design standards within your project area.

Improve core application performance, efficiency, and system reliability, proactively identifying and tackling areas of technical debt in software and processes within your team.

Mentor junior and mid-level engineers on best practices, system design philosophy, and navigating cross-functional project dynamics.

Requirements:

8 years of professional software engineering experience, with a focus on large-scale, high-traffic web applications.

Hands-on experience and proficiency in a modern web framework such as JavaScript, React, VueJS, or Angular, plus HTML and CSS.

Proficiency in fundamental algorithms and data structures, including hash tables, trees, stacks, queues, linked lists, DFS, and BFS.

Demonstrated understanding of modern web application architecture and design patterns, and their implications for performance and scalability.

Experience leading the technical direction of complex, cross-functional projects with multiple dependencies.

Familiarity with back-end systems (e. g., Go, Python, TypeScript) to facilitate collaboration and diagnose full-stack issues.

Experience with the full project lifecycle, from idea inception and stakeholder engagement to monitoring in production.
