**About the Role**

The Compute Platform team’s mission is to build the next generation of Uber’s container orchestration platform on Kubernetes that is secure, reliable, scalable, and highly efficient. At Uber we have a complex infrastructure spanning both on-prem data centers and cloud. It supports a diverse variety of workloads (stateless, stateful, batch, streaming, ML/AI), each different in its characteristics and requirements.

We build solutions to enable user applications/jobs to be deployed anywhere in the world with the touch of a button. We build abstractions to enable Uber developers with infrastructure that just works for every application type. We actively work with the open-source community including Kubernetes and contribute back. We are at the cutting edge of technology and the team regularly presents at industry conferences. Here are some KubeCon sessions (2024 session + video, 2023 session1, session2) where we have talked about our team’s work.
