You will help delight our engineering teams, and enable the whole engineering organization to iterate rapidly. The ideal candidate will be a thought leader influencing investments across the organization, including investments in (but not limited to):

1. Appropriately leveraging advanced technologies (static analysis, ML and GenAI) to our test infrastructure
2. Inner-loop process improvements (build / test / run)

If you enjoy enabling other engineers to be productive, discussing anything from developer tools to kernels, you measure the success of your projects in "nines", and want to have a direct impact on all developers Uber-wide, we would like to talk to you!

What You'll do:

1. Partner with fellow engineers to innovate, architect, develop and scale Uber's mobile testing and release process, testing infrastructure and toolings
