About the Role
At Uber, our mission is to ignite opportunity by setting the world in motion. The Platform Engineering organization plays a foundational role in enabling our engineers to move fast, build reliably, and operate at scale.
We are looking for a passionate and experienced Engineering Manager to lead two critical teams within the Real-Time Data Platform group: Kafka and Flink. These teams provide the infrastructure, tooling, and platform capabilities that power real-time streaming use cases across Uber - from trip events and fraud detection to dynamic pricing and observability systems.
As the Engineering Manager, you'll be responsible for driving the strategy, execution, and people development for both teams, ensuring that Uber's data infrastructure remains robust, scalable, and forward-looking.
