Senior Software Engineer - Storage Platform

About the role

Engineering at Uber means building for real-world impact under real-world constraints. You'll be responsible for the infrastructure that runs Uber's global stateful systems - over 20 types of technologies including MySQL, Redis, and Kafka - across 50,000+ hosts and exabytes of data. This role is based in our Aarhus, Denmark office, a key global hub for Uber's Infrastructure and Platform teams.

In Aarhus, we don't just use technology; we build the core systems that keep Uber moving. The work is massive in scale and high in stakes. You will navigate the tension between moving fast to increase fleet-wide efficiency and maintaining the extreme reliability required for systems that never sleep.

We are looking for an engineer eager to grow into a role with greater technical ownership and leadership. As our Stateful Platform team continues to scale, we need someone who can go beyond execution to formulate a north star vision for our products. You will be expected to drive the team toward that goal independently, staying steady through the regular disruptions that come with operating at our scale.

If you thrive in high-ambiguity environments, value ownership over hierarchy, you will grow here

What you'll do

Design, build, and maintain the automation frameworks that deploy and run all database engines globally, ensuring high availability across on-prem and multiple cloud environments. Solve high-impact infrastructure problems where the solution isn't always obvious - such as automating kernel upgrades or storage cluster expansions across millions of containers.
