Engineering Manager II - Configuration Platform
1 month ago• Århus, Denmark
About the Role
Uber builds and maintains a wide range of domain-specific configuration products that enable the management and distribution of configuration changes across our systems. These products serve diverse use cases - from UI-based tools that allow city teams to update product configurations, to Git-based interfaces designed for engineers. For example, our systems support Infrastructure as Code (IaC), experimentation frameworks (A/B testing and Citrus), and even mobile applications.
Although these configuration products differ in their applications, they share common components that can be consolidated. This consolidation simplifies operations, reduces maintenance overhead, and enhances reliability. The Configuration Platform team owns services within this space, driving consistency and scalability across Uber's tech stack.
