Description For Staff Software Engineer

The security organization at Uber is dedicated to enabling safe and secure innovation while protecting the communities we serve both online and in the physical world. Our team is responsible for protecting both people and their data across intersections of the digital and physical world. The primary objective for the Uber Engineering Security team is to enable the technical ambitions of the company while maintaining the highest standards of security and privacy for our customers and partners.

We are seeking a talented and experienced Staff Software Engineer to join our Threat Defense and Response team and lead the development of the next generation AI-powered security platform. This platform will be instrumental in enhancing our cyber defense capabilities across security operations, incident response, threat intelligence, and more. The security landscape is constantly evolving, and with the adoption of ML/GenAI backed by extensive heterogeneous data, security threats are inevitably broadened.

With your deep and comprehensive expertise across major technology stacks, you will architect, implement and scale industry-leading security solutions for cyber defense. As a Staff Software Engineer, you are not only role models, but also empathic leaders. You are humble teachers, technically mentoring passionate engineers while also delivering uniquely challenging projects. You will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies, collaborate with cross-functional security and engineering teams, and play a key role in shaping our cybersecurity strategy.

Our mission is to protect, defend, and secure Uber's products, infrastructure and data by building highly available, scalable and extensible security platforms and services. We are focused on proactively identifying and remediating security risks as well as swiftly detecting and mitigating security incidents. In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, we continuously adapt and evolve our defenses in order to always stay one step ahead of potential threats.

We welcome people from all backgrounds who seek the opportunity to help build a future where everyone and everything can move independently. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, work with us, and let's move the world forward, together.
