Within Michelangelo, the Feature Store team is responsible for the critical infrastructure that bridges data and real-time machine learning predictions. We build the high-performance feature serving layer that enables product teams and data scientists to deploy production-grade AI seamlessly, ensuring production systems have access to the right signals at exactly the right time.\nRole Overview As a Senior Software Engineer on the Michelangelo Feature Store team, you will drive the technical direction of our real-time feature serving infrastructure. You will be responsible for tackling complex distributed systems challenges to deliver high-throughput, ultra-low-latency feature retrieval at enterprise scale. This role requires a blend of hands-on technical execution, architectural system design, and engineering mentorship.\nWhat You Will Do\nDesign & Build: Own the architecture and implementation of highly scalable feature serving components, ensuring millisecond-latency feature retrieval for real-time ML applications.\nScale Infrastructure: Develop robust streaming and online data serving systems that handle massive concurrent request volumes, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and graceful degradation under load.\nSystem Performance: Optimize platform efficiency by tuning underlying fast-access data stores and in-memory caches to guarantee strict low-latency SLAs.\nCross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with ML engineers, data scientists, and product teams to translate feature engineering needs into generalized platform capabilities and elegant, developer-facing APIs.\nTechnical Leadership: Lead technical design reviews, establish coding standards, and guide architectural decisions to minimize technical debt across the feature serving stack.\nMentorship: Elevate the engineering bar by mentoring mid-level and junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.\n Operational Excellence: Own the production health of the feature serving layer. Define SLIs/SLOs, build comprehensive observability (metrics, distributed tracing), and participate in on-call rotations to ensure 99.99%+ reliability.\nBasic Qualifications\nBachelor’s, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\n5+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating large-scale backend systems in production.\nProficiency in one or more backend programming languages such as Go, Java, C++, or Python.\nStrong fundamentals in distributed systems, covering concurrency, consistency, data modeling, API design, and fault tolerance.\nProven track record of leading the design and end-to-end delivery of complex, high-throughput, low-latency software services.\nPreferred Qualifications\nDeep understanding of fast-access NoSQL databases, in-memory caches, and key-value stores (e.g., Redis, Cassandra, DynamoDB) optimized for read-heavy workloads.\nExperience with real-time stream processing and event-driven architectures (e.g., Kafka, Flink).\nBackground in building or scaling Feature Stores (e.g., Feast, Tecton) or similar high-performance data serving layers.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience writing comprehensive technical design documents.\nFor Sunnyvale, CA-based roles: The base salary range for this role is USD $202,000 per year - USD $224,000 per year.\nYou 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":3844,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Continuous learning","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Delivery","Ride Hailing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T21:21:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":79,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.882,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":10,"reasons":["conf:4","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-26T05:57:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":202000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/uber-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-27T00:28:11Z","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":532,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-28T00:00:00Z"}},"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-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform"},{"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-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform"},{"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-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform"},{"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-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fuber-sr-software-engineer-ml-platform"}]}
