Senior Software Engineer: Backend
About the role:
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be a critical contributor to Uber's enterprise platform, building the core platform for automating contracts and invoicing for Uber's large business clients (B2B). Your main challenge will be to take complex, custom deal terms from sales contracts and transform them into standardized, digital data that our systems can easily process. This work directly reduces errors and significantly speeds up payment collections (Account Receivables). You will be responsible for the complete design and implementation of high-scale, mission-critical backend services.
About the Team
The team's mission is to ensure Uber's financial systems for business clients are accurate and fully automated. By making sure pricing terms flow automatically from a contract straight to an invoice, we solve major business challenges, including reducing the amount of old, unpaid invoices (Account Receivables). You will be working with a team that prioritizes robust system design and technical excellence.
- Standardized, Scalable Infrastructure: Build a highly available B2B platform that can support a massive volume of contracts, billing, and order processing.
- Process Control and Consistency: Introduce necessary controls (guardrails) and controlled connections to ensure that Uber only sells business models that our system is built to support, and that all pricing is accurately reflected in the contract.
- Supporting Business Growth: Enable a seamless experience for our partners and support Uber's growth by reliably and accurately applying complex commercial terms, such as tiered pricing, incentives, and diverse service plans.
What You'll Do
You will be responsible for the end-to-end design, implementation, and deployment of a scalable and reliable infrastructure platform:
- System Design & Architecture: Design and implement new, foundational microservices that ensure the financial accuracy for our B2B business, guaranteeing high performance, fault tolerance, and meeting aggressive reliability standards (SLOs).
- Data Standardization & Governance: Define a flexible data structure (a Line-of-Business-agnostic data model) and service contracts to standardize complex commercial terms (like fees, incentives, and commitments) into a single, centralized and reliable system (Single Source of Truth or SSOT).
- Core Platform Development: Build and maintain the core platform services for managing the entire lifecycle of a B2B Contract-treating it as the primary data entity-including versioning and secure data storage.
- Automated Business Logic: Implement complex, rule-based logic to automatically calculate and apply contract-based pricing to internal services (like Fares and Billing), which will eliminate the need for manual invoice adjustments.
- End-to-End Integration: Lead the technical integration with key upstream systems (like Salesforce) for creating contracts, and with high-volume downstream consumers to ensure financial data flows seamlessly and accurately across the entire process from a sales lead to collecting cash (Lead-to-Cash process).
