About the Role

Engineering on the uPlan team means building platforms that shape how Uber plans, builds, and launches products at a global scale. The problems span the entire development lifecycle—from ideation and documentation to production readiness—where systems must balance speed, compliance, and usability. You’ll make decisions in ambiguous spaces, design for both humans and AI agents, and help reduce friction across one of the most complex engineering organizations in the world.

As a Software Engineer on uPlan, you will design and build full-stack systems that power AI-assisted documentation, workflow orchestration, and feature lifecycle management. This is not just about building tools—it’s about creating a central source of truth that reduces engineering toil and accelerates safe, compliant launches worldwide. Your work will directly impact how every engineering and product team at Uber operates, giving you the opportunity to drive meaningful improvements in productivity, velocity, and global reach

Team Vision: Empower and accelerate Uber's global launch in a safe and legally compliant manner.

Team Mission: Reduce toil on Uber employees across all stages from ideation -> documentation -> review -> coding -> launch, keeping our documentation always up-to-date and risk managed seamlessly without adding more friction.
