The Container 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, batch, streaming), 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 so that Uber developers do not have to care about infrastructure and infrastructure 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.
We are looking for a strong engineer to drive and shape the technical roadmap & delivery of our Container Platform.
