Senior Software Engineer, Web

Overview

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.

• 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.

• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping high-impact, user-facing products.
• Strong Type Script/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.

• 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.
