About the Role
Uber's Gifting business is a rapidly expanding global initiative, and we are just getting started. We are looking for a Software Engineer to help us build the future of connection. This is a unique opportunity to join a high-visibility initiative that operates like a startup within Uber.
As a Software Engineer on the Gifting team, you will be hands-on in the code, building the features that transform Gifting from a seasonal add-on into a "first-class use case" deeply integrated into the Rides and Eats apps. You will work on tangible, user-facing products-designing systems that are not only scalable but also secure and compliant across global markets.

• Execute Technical Initiatives: Take ownership of specific technical components within larger projects.
• Ensure Code Quality & Reliability: Write clean, efficient, and well-tested code. You will contribute to system reliability, ensuring our platforms remain stable during high-traffic peaks.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with Product Managers, Designers, and engineers from other teams to ensure your features integrate seamlessly into the Uber apps.
Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of professional experience in software development.
• Strong Coding Ability: Proficiency in at least one general-purpose programming language (e.g., Java, Go) with a solid understanding of data structures and algorithms.
• Systems Experience: Experience building and maintaining microservices or distributed systems in a production environment.
• Full-Stack Exposure: Comfort working across the stack (backend APIs and basic frontend/mobile integration) to deliver end-to-end features.
