The mission of the Developer Platform org is to empower engineers at Uber to build reliable, scalable software-efficiently and without friction. The Python Platform team plays a critical role in that mission by building language-specific tools, libraries, and infrastructure for Uber's Python ecosystem.

• Lead and grow a high-performing team of engineers focused on enabling best-in-class Python development.
• Drive the evolution of core Python tooling, including dependency management, testing frameworks, code quality, and build/test infrastructure.
• Partner with machine learning, infra, security, and product teams to align platform investments with broader company goals.
• Ensure the Python development experience is secure, scalable, performant, and delightful for engineers across Uber.
• Foster a strong culture of engineering excellence, mentorship, and collaboration.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of industry experience, including 2+ years of engineering management experience.
• Strong backend or infrastructure engineering background, ideally with experience in Python.
• Experience working on developer-facing systems, tools, or platforms.
• Proven ability to lead teams building scalable internal platforms and services.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across functions and influence without authority.

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep familiarity with the Python ecosystem (e.g., packaging, virtual environments, testing tools).
• Experience working on or with developer platform teams at scale.
• Machine learning or data science experience
• Exposure to Bazel, Buildkite, or other build/test/deploy frameworks.
• Contributions to open source or leadership in developer tooling communities.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.
