Software Engineer II - Autonomous Mobility & Delivery

Uber • Seattle, WA

76d • $167,000 - $185,500

About The Position

The AM&D (Autonomous Mobility & Delivery) team owns the autonomous future of Uber's Rides and Eats business, which is one of Uber's most important bets as a public company that sets the world in motion. Our goal is to eventually enable mass-scale AV commercialization globally in all 10000+ cities Uber operates. We are just getting started. As we gradually but surely move towards this future, there are a full spectrum of engineering challenges that need to be tackled. Specifically: 1. How do we make sure Uber's customers, from riders, to eaters to merchants can have safe, informative and magical experiences with Uber without human driver interaction? 2. How do we drive AV adoptions with informative, trustworthy and exciting experiences? 3. How do we make sure a rider's autonomous ride share experience is still safe, informative and trustworthy without a human driver to interact with? From pickup, to on trip to drop off.
