We're also building a budget allocation tool that recommends how to move budget between levers. We work day to day with data scientists, product, operations, and finance.\nWhy it matters\nToday each lever spends against its own budget target, even after it starts hitting diminishing returns. A trusted, comparable measure of what each lever returns lets Uber move money to where it does the most good: more reliable deliveries for customers, more earning opportunities for couriers, and more long-term growth for every dollar spent. The hard part is making the numbers trustworthy enough that Operations and Finance leaders act on them. Then the recommendations have to be proven with well-designed experiments. That's the system you'll help build.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent experience in an engineering related bootcamp\n2+ years of experience in professional software development experience, developing and deploying systems in production environments\nProven skills writing efficient, clean code in Go, Java, or Python\nAbility to debug and fix software bugs in a production scale environment\nExperience with software engineering best practices\nStrong grasp of distributed-systems fundamentals: caching, sharding, consensus, fault tolerance, observability, and incident response\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document architectures and algorithms\nPreferred Qualifications\nAdvanced coursework or industry background in statistics, causal inference, or experimental design.\nDirect ownership of analysis workflows (A/B, quasi-experimental, marketplace simulations) at scale.Python, Pandas, PySpark\nData Pipelines (e.g. Spark, Scala)\nJupyter Notebooks\n\nFullstack development experience (BE, FE, Data Pipelines), this project involves a full suite of development surfaces across UI, backend, and data.\nExperience developing internal tooling used by Ops, Engineers, Finance, Scientists, etc.\nWhat the Candidate Will Do\nBuild and own data pipelines (Spark, Hive, scheduled workflows) that recompute lever-efficiency estimates from experiment and marketplace data every week. Include data-quality checks, freshness alerts and backfills.\nBuild backend services and APIs in Go that store and serve efficiency estimates and budget recommendations.\nShip full-stack features in the web app: interactive dashboards and a budget allocation tool used by Operations, Finance, Product, and Science.\nWork with data scientists to turn notebook prototypes into production code. This includes confidence intervals, corrections for network effects, forecasts, and an optimizer that moves budget between levers within real constraints, such as fixed total spend and capped weekly changes.\nWork with Uber's experimentation platform to run experiments that test budget moves (switchbacks, geo experiments, synthetic control), and automate reading their results into the dashboard.\nTake features from design to launch: write design docs, review code, test, monitor production, and take part in on-call.\nDocument methodology and system design so partners can trust and reuse the numbers.\n For San Francisco, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $171,000 per year - USD $190,000 per year.\nFor Sunnyvale, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $171,000 per year - USD $190,000 per year.\nFor all US locations, you will be eligible to participate in Uber's bonus program, and may be offered an equity award & other types of comp. All full-time employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan. You will also be eligible for various benefits.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4219,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Delivery","Ride Hailing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-20T23:43:12Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.867,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":10,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-24T06:02:35Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":190000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-software-engineer-ii-12","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-software-engineer-ii-12.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-24T11:38:03Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":16602,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-25T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":230},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=230"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-12"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-12"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-12"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/uber-software-engineer-ii-12\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fuber-software-engineer-ii-12"}]}
