Job Description

About the Role Search at Uber Eats is more than just a utility; it’s the engine for discovery that drives over a third of our business. We’re on a mission to evolve search from a simple query box into an adaptive, intuitive experience that understands user intent before they even finish typing. The Search Experience team will be 15 engineers across Backend, Web and Full-stack. We are looking for a senior engineer and product thinker to help us redefine how millions of users discover the food, groceries, and merchants on our platform. You will design and ship the systems that power our next-generation search results by engineering new modes for intent expression & discovery. Beyond just building features, you’ll improve how we build them. A key part of our charter is improving engineering foundations to increase velocity and modernize our tech stack. What the Candidate Will Do Build intent expression and results modules that improve discovery and decision-making. Set and enforce performance standards (page load, responsiveness, memory/network efficiency). Drive experimentation end-to-end with DS: hypotheses, instrumentation, ramp plans, and readouts. Partner with backend/platform teams on contracts, navigation patterns, and bridge capabilities. Mentor engineers and raise the bar on debugging rigor, code quality, and execution. Basic Qualifications 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping high-impact, user-facing products. Strong TypeScript/JavaScript + web fundamentals (rendering, performance, debugging). Proven experience in designing and implementing scalable, performant, and reliable front-end architectures. A strong sense of product intuition and a passion for the user experience; you’re not just an implementer, you want to understand the why. Strong cross-functional communication with PM, Design, and Data Science. Preferred Qualifications You have direct experience building high-traffic, low-latency, user-facing presentation layers for Search, Recommendations, or E-commerce platforms. You have a history of successfully leading complex, cross-functional projects on the frontend and enjoy the ambiguity and autonomy that comes with it. You have a deep understanding of browser performance, core web vitals, and what it takes to build and maintain highly-available, low-latency user interfaces at scale. You are data-driven and comfortable digging into frontend metrics (e.g., p90 latency, page load speed, client-side drop-offs) to diagnose and improve the user experience. You elevate the engineers around you through thoughtful code reviews, clear design documentation, and mentorship. For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD$202,000 per year - USD$224,000 per year. For Sunnyvale, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD$202,000 per year - USD$224,000 per year.
