About the Role

Cadence is a modern open source microservice orchestration service (or Fault-Tolerant Stateful Code Platform) created by Uber and also being used by many other major companies. It's the backbone technology for more than a thousand internal services at Uber and powering hundreds of billions of executions every month. Please apply if you are interested in contributing to a cutting edge high scalability distributed technology.

We are looking for an Engineering Manager with the primary focus on leading, mentoring, and managing a team of engineers.

About the team

We handle roughly 4500 stateless services, millions of containers, and deploy more than 1000 changes daily to production across multiple geographical regions with availability zones in both Uber's own data centers, AWS, and GCP.

Services are written in Go with a strong focus on clean, readable code with unit and integration test coverage. All code changes are peer-reviewed.

We have great opportunities ahead including impactful efficiency projects, building out our service platform to support other workload types, and building an integrated solution for developers to run their workloads efficiently and easily.

We strive to provide guardrails and opinionated solutions to Uber's developers to allow them to focus on writing code instead of worrying about infrastructure.

Our team consists of a balanced combination of both junior and senior engineers with a broad range of experiences across the industry. We value ideas over hierarchy, getting things done, and having a measurable impact on the business. We work closely with our partner teams in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Seattle, Amsterdam, New York, and Bangalore.
