Software Engineer - Denmark Talent Pool

6 days ago Århus, Denmark

Building the Backbone of Global Motion: Backend Engineers (Denmark Talent Pool)

Location: Aarhus, Denmark

Disclaimer: Please apply if you are based in Denmark only.

At Uber, we don't just move people; we move the world. But before a car arrives or a meal is delivered, millions of lines of code have to execute in milliseconds. Our Aarhus Engineering Hub is the engine room for some of Uber's most critical global systems.

We are looking to connect with Backend Software Engineers who want to build the future of Infrastructure/Platform and Catalog at a scale few companies on earth ever reach.

Why Join Our Talent Pool?

This isn't a typical "apply and wait" role. By joining our Aarhus Talent Pool, you're putting yourself on the radar for our two most impactful engineering pillars in Denmark:

1. Platform & Infrastructure

You'll build the "foundations of the house." This team ensures that Uber's global fleet of microservices is reliable, scalable, and lightning-fast. If you enjoy deep-diving into distributed systems, high-availability architecture, and cloud-native tech, this is your playground.

2. Catalog Platform

Uber's Catalog is the world's most complex digital inventory. We manage millions of items across thousands of cities for Uber Eats and beyond. You'll solve "impossible" problems related to data consistency, searchability, and real-time updates at a massive scale.

What We're Looking For

We value engineering craft over specific buzzwords, but you'll feel right at home if you have:

- Distributed Systems Expertise: You understand how to build systems that don't break when millions of people use them simultaneously.
- Language Agnosticism: Our primary languages are Go and Java, but we care more about your ability to pick the right tool for the job.
- A "Scale" Mindset: You don't just write code; you think about observability, latency, and how your service behaves at 100x its current load.
- Collaborative Spirit: You thrive in a culture of peer reviews, architectural discussions, and shared ownership.

The Aarhus Edge

Uber Aarhus isn't just a satellite office; it's an engineering powerhouse with a "start-up" soul and "Big Tech" impact.

- Global Impact: Your code affects how people move in 10,000+ cities.
- Local Culture: A tight-knit team in the heart of Jutland, where we value work-life balance (it is Denmark, after all) and technical excellence.

Let's Start a Conversation

Even if you aren't looking to move today, we want to know the bright minds in the Danish tech community.

Uber is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. (And yes, we have great coffee in the Aarhus office.)

Uber's mission is to reimagine the way the world moves for the better. Here, bold ideas create real-world impact, challenges drive growth, and speed fuelds progress. What moves us, moves the world - let's move it forward, together.

Offices continue to be central to collaboration and Uber's cultural identity. Unless formally approved to work fully remotely, Uber expects employees to spend at least half of their work time in their assigned office. For certain roles, such as those based at green-light hubs, employees are expected to be in-office for 100% of their time. Please speak with your recruiter to better understand in-office expectations for this role.
