Engineering Manager II - Maps

About the Role

Uber is changing the way people think about transportation. Not that long ago, we were just an app to request premium black cars in a few metropolitan areas. Now we’re a part of the logistical fabric of cities everywhere. Whether it’s a ride, a sandwich, or a package, we use technology to give people what they want, when they want it.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager II to join our team in Amsterdam to help evolve and scale our map data platform that provides a digital representation of planet earth road network. You'll lead the engineering strategy, vision, and delivery of Uber's map data. You’ll directly lead a diverse team of engineers that impact each ride and delivery and help Uber move the world

• Own the craftsmanship, reliability, and scalability of your solutions
• Encourage innovation, implementation of cutting-edge technologies, outside-of-the-box thinking, teamwork, and self-organization
• Hire top performing engineering talent and maintaining our commitment to diversity and inclusion
