About the role
Design, build, and maintain optical systems that directly support Uber's core business of rides and eats that move in the real world-where performance, safety, and scale cannot be separated.
Work through technical debt and shifting priorities to drive efficiency across all lifecycle areas, from initial design and deployment to iteration and operational support.
Lead efforts to build software-based calibration tools, automation scripts, and validation pipelines as we move toward production-ready, automated solutions.
Own your work end-to-end, from defining SOPs and quality gates to participating in on-call rotations and troubleshooting production incidents when stakes are high.

5+ years of hands-on experience with major OTN devices, such as Infinera/Nokia, Ciena, or ADVA/Adtran.
Knowledge of optical transport, system design, device delivery and operations including troubleshooting and incident management.
Participate in on-call schedules and serve as escalation points for service-related issues.
Experience with working in a lights-out environment or interfacing with remote hands, vendors and a globally distributed team.
Expertise in provisioning of network device configurations for major OTN vendors and hardware.
Solid experience in TCP, IPv4/6, and dynamic routing protocols such as BGP and IS-IS.
Experience supporting large-scale green or brownfield architecture, designs, and deployments for global or national enterprise or Service Providers in backbone or data center network fabrics.
Proven ability to lead operational excellence through best-practice change management, outage mitigation and blameless post-mortem processes.
You have great interpersonal skills, deep technical ability, and a portfolio of successful execution. You are open-minded to discuss various technical approaches and able to drive consensus across various stakeholders at Uber.
A relentless desire to build each network better than the last. Treat networking, operational efficiency, and automation as sciences with room for artful breakthroughs.
